Electrical properties of carbon nanotubes

2020-12-26 · Electrical properties of nanotubes. The electrical properties of carbon nanotubes depend on how the hexagons are orientated along the axis of the tube. The following figure shows the three orientations that are possible: armchair, zigzag, and chiral. Electrical properties depend on the orientation of the hexagons.

The Electronic Properties of the Graphene and Carbon ...

We examined the graphene and carbon nanotubes in 5 groups according to their structural and electronic properties by using ab initio density functional theory: zigzag (metallic and semiconducting), chiral (metallic and semiconducting), and armchair (metallic). We studied the structural and electronic properties of the 3D supercell graphene and isolated SWCNTs.

Types Of Carbon Nanotubes And Their Applications | …

2021-1-3 · Applications of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs). Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are strong, have better electrical and thermal conducting capacities, and thus find broader potential in the following ways:. The use of MWCNTs in batteries can double storage power. In solar cells, as MWCNTs-based solar cells have 100-micrometer high towers, that absorb remarkably more …

The effect of boundary conditions on the vibrations of ...

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have three distinct structures: armchair, zigzag, and chiral. It is known that they have different electronic properties, but the situation regarding their vibrational behavior is less clear. Doubly clamped nanotubes of all three types exhibit the same vibrational modes, and their vibrations in the directions perpendicular to the nanotube axis are ...

Chirality of single-walled carbon nanotubes | Research ...

2019-10-1 · Chiral vector C can be written as C = n a 1 + m a 2 where a 1 and a 2 are basis vectors of the graphene lattice. The pair of integers (n,m) is called the chiral index or just chirality. This implies that the structure of a single-walled carbon nanotube is completely determined by chirality.

Carbon Nanotubes - ChemEd DL Home - ChemEd DL

Description: Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCT) are graphene sheets rolled into hollow tubes. There are three types of carbon nanotubes: zigzag (n, 0), armchair (n, n), and chiral (n, m). The indices (n, m) form what is called the chiral vector, a vector that dictates how the graphene sheet is …

How a Zigzag Carbon Nanotube Grows - Yuan - 2015 ...

Owing to the unique structure of zigzag (ZZ) carbon nanotubes (CNTs), their ring‐by‐ring growth behavior is different from that of chiral or armchair (AC) CNTs, on the rims of which kinks serve as active sites for carbon attachment. Through first‐principle calculations, we found that, because of the high energy barrier of initiating a new ...
