Quantitative evaluation of orbital hybridization in carbon nanotubes under radial deformation using π-orbital axis vector
When a radial strain is applied to a carbon nanotube (CNT), the increase in local curvature induces orbital hybridization. The effect of the curvature-induced orbital hybridization on the electronic properties of CNTs, however, has not been evaluated quantitatively. In this study, the strength of or...
