Effect of uniaxial tensile strength on the electrical properties of doped carbon nanotubes: Density functional theory

We investigated the effect of uniaxial tensile strength on a pristine carbon nanotube, boron-doped carbon nanotube, nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube and co-doped carbon nanotube with boron and nitrogen atoms. To achieve our goal, we performed our calculations with the aid of density functional theory. We studied the changes in the electrical properties after the atomic substitution of a carbon atom by boron, nitrogen, and boron and nitrogen in pristine carbon nanotubes. We also applied uniaxial tensile strength to doped structures as well as pristine one. In addition to studying the band gap, we studied the changes in the Fermi energy, valence bands, and conduction bands. We found that defects as well as stress and strain play a crucial rule on modifying the electrical properties of carbon nanotubes.     

First principles modeling of boron-doped carbon nanotube sensors

We investigated the interactions between two different geometrical configurations of single-walled carbon nanotubes and boron atoms using first-principle calculations within the framework of the density functional theory. With the aid of ab initio calculations, we introduced a new type of toxic gas sensor that can detect the presence of CO, NO and H₂ molecules. We proved that the dopant concentration on the surface of the nanotube plays a crucial role in the sensitivity of this device. Furthermore, we showed that small concentrations of dopants can modify the transport and electronic properties of the single-walled carbon nanotube and can lend metallic properties to the nanotube. Band-gap narrowing occurs when the nanotube is doped with boron atoms. The emerged new energy level near the Fermi level upon boron doping clearly indicates the coupling between the p orbital of the boron atom and the large p bond of the carbon nanotube. We also predicted a weak hybridization between the boron atoms and the nanotube for the valence-band edge states; this weak coupling leads to conducting states around the band gap.     

Stability and electronic properties of carbon nanotubes doped with transition metal impurities

We apply first-principles method to investigate the effect of the diameter on the stability and electronic properties of zigzag carbon nanotubes doped with iron, nickel and manganese impurity atoms. In this contribution we follow the evolution of the electronic and structural properties as a function of the nanotube diameter. As a general result, we found that the binding energy decreases with the increasing nanotube radius. Additionally, depending on the interaction of transition metal impurity with the tubular carbon structure, it is observed that the total magnetization varies with the tube diameter due to hybridization and confinement effects. It is also shown that such magnetization varies with the curvature radius, increasing for manganese impurity atoms and decreasing for iron and nickel.     

Composites of multiwall carbon nanotubes and conducting polyaniline: Bulk samples and films produced from a solution in chloroform

Multiwall carbon nanotubes and conducting polyaniline, doped with dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, are blended by employing the solubility of both materials in chloroform. Pellets are made by pressing the dried powder of the obtained composite, and films by sedimentary deposition onto a plastic substrate. In these composites, the advantageous properties of carbon nanotubes can be utilized in fully conducting bulk and planar structures while the strong decrease of the conductivity of doped polyaniline at low temperatures is simultaneously suppressed. The nanotube content in pellets can be as high as 40% by weight, and this wide range leads to a control over the shape and magnitude of the conductivity versus temperature curves. As the nanotube content grows, the temperature dependence of the conductivity becomes less steep, which is similar to the effect of annealing temperature on the conductivity of certain polycrystalline graphene films. In our case, this change is most likely caused by the increase of the density of highly conducting channels and not by homogeneous delocalization effects.     

Electronic and optical properties of the H2O adsorbed the B-N-C nanotubes

We investigate the structures and properties of boron/nitrogen co-doped carbon nanotube with water molecules adsorbing. The electronic and optical properties of the systems are calculated by using the first-principles theory in detail. The results reveal that the doped nanotubes show hydrophilic behavior when the oxygen atoms are close to the nanotubes. The Mulliken charges redistribute and transfer between the doped carbon nanotubes and the water molecules. The band gaps of the nanotubes vary with the positions of H₂O. The positions and intensities of the reflectivity peaks are affected by the distributions of boron/nitrogen atoms and the positions of water molecules. The investigations are beneficial to further biological applications of co-doped nanotubes.     

Influence of boron distribution on the transport of single-walled carbon nanotube

Using density functional theory combined with nonequilibrium Green’s functions, we investigated and found that boron substitutional doping affects the transport properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes with different distribution. The results reveal that the semiconducting nanotube transits to the quasi-metallic state with nonlinear current–voltage curve after boron doping. Some regular regions of total transmission coefficient with integral values appear with the varying of electron energy and bias voltage. The transport properties of the doped tubes are affected remarkably by the impurity states of quasi-bound defect states which are tuned by the distance between the boron atoms. The current of metallic nanotube is reduced by the impurities and changed with doping patterns. PACS 72.80.Rj; 73.22.2f; 73.61.Wp; 73.63.Rt
