The structural and electronic properties of optimized open-ended single-wall carbon nanotubes with zigzag geometry have been investigated. The calculations were performed using molecular mechanics, extended Huckel, and AM1-RHF semiempirical molecular orbital methods. it has been found that the density of states of the zigzag model is sensitive to the tube size and changes as the tube length increases. On the other hand the energetics of the tube shows an almost linear dependence to the tube length, and a converging characteristics with respect to the number of hexagons forming the tube.

Electronic properties of open-ended single wall carbon nanotubes
Turker, L; Erkoç, Şakir (2002-01-31)
We have investigated the electrostatic, charge and orbital properties of open-ended single-wall carbon nanotubes in zigzag geometry. The calculations were performed by using the AM1-RHF semiempirical molecular orbital method. It has been found that the tubes with smaller radius behave like a metallic solid whereas the tubes with larger radius behave like a metallic hollow cylinder.
Structural and electronic properties of defected carbon nanocapsules
Pekoez, Rengin; Erkoç, Şakir (2007-06-01)
Structural and electronic properties of defected carbon nanocapsule systems have been investigated theoretically by performing semi-empirical molecular orbital and density functional theory methods. Geometries of the structures have been optimized by applying PM3 level of calculations within restricted Hartree Fock formalism and electronic information have been obtained by applying B3LYP level of density functional theory calculation using 3-21G basis set. The studied systems include (5,5) and (9,0) single-...
Structural properties of carbon nanorods: Molecular-dynamics simulations
Erkoc, S; Malcıoğlu, Osman Barış (2002-03-01)
The formation of carbon nanorods from various types of carbon nanotubes has been investigated by performing molecular-dynamics computer simulations. Calculations have been realized by using an empirical many-body potential energy function for carbon. It has been found that carbon nanorod formed from carbon nanotubes with different chirality is not stable even at low temperature.
Structural and electronic properties of single-wall ZnO nanotubes
Erkoç, Şakir; Kokten, H (Elsevier BV, 2005-07-01)
The structural and electronic properties of armchair and zigzag models of single-wall ZnO nanotubes have been investigated by performing semiempirical molecular orbital self-consistent field calculations at the level of AM1 method within the RHF formulation. It has been found that these structures are stable and endothermic. The armchair model has zero net dipole moment, whereas the zigzag model has nonzero net dipole moment. The interfrontier molecular energy gap of these systems are different; the gap of ...
Structural and electronic properties of single-wall BN nanotubes
Erkoç, Şakir (2001-06-15)
The structural and electronic properties of armchair and zigzag models of single-wall BN nanotubes have been investigated by performing semi-empirical molecular orbital self-consistent field calculations at the level of the Austin Model 1 (AM1) method within the RHF formulation. It has been found that these structures are stable and exothermic. The armchair model has a zero net dipole moment, whereas the zigzag model has a nonzero net dipole moment. The interfrontier molecular energy gap of these systems ar...
