Abstract: | The electronic structure and parameters of the energy band structure of (n, 0)-type nanotubes modified by alkali metal atoms (Li, Na) and intercalated by potassium atoms are studied. The quantum-chemical semiempirical MNDO method and a model of the covalent cyclic cluster built in via ionic bonding are used to model infinitely long nanotubes. The electronic density of states of modified nanotubes is found. It is shown that semiconductor-metal transitions can occur in semiconductor nanotubes and that semimetal nanotubes can undergo metal-metal transitions. |
