Band Gaps of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes: A Computational Study
Chase, Brittany (2010-03-31)I studied the electronic band structure of carbon nanotubes through computer simulations using quantum molecular dynamics. I demonstrated that band gap energies can be "tuned" by the application of external tensile strain. ...
