https://doi.org/10.17586/22208054201785635640
Abstract
Modeling approaches based on the density functional theory (DFT): the Kohn–Sham (KS) method and orbitalfree (OF) method are used to for calculation of the binding energies per atom as functions of the diameter of singlewall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with the open ends. It is shown that this energy has a minimum at a diameter of about 1.1 – 1.2 nm. The experiments made by means of Raman spectroscopy have shown that diameters of SWCNTs mainly lie in the range of 1 – 1.5 nm.
