Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) Imaging of Carbon …
May 23, 2021 · ‘Carbon Nanotropes’, the nanoscale carbon allotropes such as Buckminsterfullerenes (C 60), Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and Graphene, show a huge potential toward various devices, sensors and catalytic applications and therefore draw a wide-scale industrial attentions.
STM Observation of Interference Patterns Near the Endcap and Its ...
Jul 27, 2011 · Here in this chapter, we discuss the STM measurements focusing on the superlattice structures detected near the end-cap of the CNT. We combine high-resolution STM imaging and several types of simulation methods both for metallic and semiconducting CNT (Furuhashi et al., 2007, Furuhashi et al., 2008).
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has played an important role in atomic scale characterization. It has been known that the CNT becomes metallic or semiconductive depending on the wrapping of the CNT, which is often cataloged by its chirality. Despite its importance, a technique for its precise measurement is not well established.

Atomic Simulations of (8,0)CNT-Graphene by SCC-DFTB Algorithm
Apr 15, 2022 · Self-consistent density functional tight binding (SCC-DFTB) approaches were used to study optimized structures, energy, differential charge density, and Mülliken populations for the (8,0) carbon nanotubes (CNTs) connected to the graphene having different topology defects. Based on the calculations, nine seamless (8,0)CNT-graphenes were selected.
