Electronic structures of peanut-shaped fullerene tubes

We have investigated electronic structures of the peanut-shaped polymerized fullerene with so-called P55, P56 and P66 tubular linkage structures. The stable atomic configurations in these one-dimensional or two-dimensionally bundled tubes are searched out by a tight-binding calculation, and then the...
