摘要
Introduction of a pentagon-heptagon pair defect in the perfect hexagonal network of two carbon nanotubes can change the helicity of the tube and alter its electronic structure. Using a tight binding method to calculate the electronic structure of such a system, we show that this pentagon-heptagon pair defect in the nanotube structure is not only responsible for the change in nanotube diameter, but also governs the electronic behavior around the Fermi level. This configuration is explored in order to understand the influence of the defect on the electronic properties of the system. Topological aspects associated with the presence of the defect are also discussed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
