Theoretical study of small-radius carbon nanotubes
carbon nanotubes. The energy band structure of a carbon nanotube may ordinarily be obtained by “zone-folding” the nearest neighbour tight-binding approximation of a flat graphite sheet. Due to the large curvature of a small-radius tube, however, this procedure fails to accurately predict the metalli...
