Abstract: | Using the first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT), we have investigated the mechanical properties of three typical patterns of the highly hydrogenated SWCNTs. For the stable parallel polyacetylene-like chains pattern (pattern III), Young's modulus of the type A configuration, which is one of the stable configurations of pattern III, has larger Young's modulus than that of the others with the same coverage on the same pristine tube, i.e. the vertical chain pattern (pattern I) and the dimer pattern (pattern II) ones. On the other hand, Young's modulus of type B configuration also belonged to pattern III changes slightly. We also verified that Young's modulus decreases enormously as the coverage increases above 50% and reduces to about one-third of that of the pristine carbon nanotubes at 100% coverage. |
