First-principles study of electronic structure of deformed carbon nanotubes

On the basis of density functional theory, we study the electronic structures of five types of carbon nanotubes: the non-deformed (6,6) tube, the uniformly stretched tube along the tube axis, the uniformly compressed tube, the partially stretched tube and the partially compressed tube. The electron...
