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 armchair model is about 0.2 eV, whereas the gap of zigzag model is about 4.4 eV. Armchair ZnO nanotubes seem to be conductors, however zigzag ZnO nanotubes seem to be semiconductors.

Structural and electronic properties of bamboo-like carbon nanostructure Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2006-01-01) The structural and electronic properties of bamboo-like carbon nanostructure have been investigated qualitatively by performing semi-empirical self-consistent-field molecular orbital calculations at the level of the PM3 method within the RHF formulation. It has been found that these structures are stable and endothermic. Bamboo-like carbon nanostructures resemble zigzag carbon nanotubes capped with a plane graphine sheet.
Structural and molecular electronic properties of B-N ring doped single-wall carbon nanotubes Malcıoğlu, Osman Barış; Erkoc, A (Elsevier BV, 2005-08-01) Various molecular electronic properties of boron-nitride nanotube ring doped four different single-wall carbon nanotubes are investigated theoretically by performing self-consistent-field molecular-orbital semi-empirical and density functional theory calculations. Results are compared with corresponding carbon nanotubes. It is seen that polar nature of the boron-nitride nanotube ring lead to a spontaneous polarization, an electrostatic potential barrier occurs in metallic carbon nanotube models, and these m...
Structural and electronic properties of lithium endohedral doped carbon nanocapsules Pekoz, Rengin; Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2007-02-01) Endohedral lithium and lithium ion doped carbon nanocapsule (CNC) systems have been theoretically investigated by performing semi-empirical molecular orbital method at the level of PM3 (UHF and/or RHF) type quantum chemical treatment in order to explore the energetics and electronic structures. The geometries of the studied systems have been optimized and the molecular properties, energies, some selected molecular orbital eigenvalues and dipole moments of the studied capsules are reported. Molecular dynamic...
Structural and electronic properties of single-wall GaN nanotubes: semi-empirical SCF-MO calculations Erkoc, S; Malcıoğlu, Osman Barış; Tasci, E (Elsevier BV, 2004-04-09) The structural and electronic properties of armchair and zigzag models of single-wall GaN nanotubes have been investigated by performing semi-empirical molecular orbital self-consistent field calculations at the level of PM3 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. It has been found that GaN armchair tube with even number of hexagonal rings on t...
Does tubular structure of carbon form only from graphine sheet? Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2004-10-01) The structural and electronic properties of carbon nanotubes constructed from non-graphine sheet have been investigated qualitatively by performing semi-empirical self-consistent-field molecular orbital calculations at the level of AMI method within the RHF formulation. It has been found that these structures are stable and endothermic. From the point of view of electronic properties these structures seem to be nonconductive; their frontier molecular orbital energy differences are large, in the order of 10e...
