First principles modelling of scroll-to-nanotube defect: Screw-type dislocation
presentation
posted on 2023-06-07, 23:51 authored by I Suarez-Martinez, G Savini, M I HeggieCarbon nanotubes present interesting potential applications especially in nanoelectronics. Their electrical properties are known to be a function of their chirality. It happens that 1/3 of CNs are metallic and 2/3 are semiconductors. Narrow nanotubes are expected to be wide-band gap semiconductors. Several experimental results have shown that the thickness of a multi-wall nanotube along the axis can change, while the interlayer spacing remains fairly constant. These observations suggest the coexistence in the same tube of a scroll structure and a multi-wall nested tube. We explain this defect as a screw dislocation which by gliding transforms between these two forms. In this paper, we present a density functional theory study of the structure and energetics of screw dislocations in AA and ABC graphite, and we discuss their role in the scroll-to-nanotube transformation in multi-wall nanotubes.
