A review of electronic band structure of graphene and carbon nanotubes using tight binding

Abstract

The electronic band structure variations of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) using Huckle/tight binding approximation theory are studied. According to the chirality indices, the related expressions for energy dispersion variations of these elements are derived and plotted for zigzag and chiral nanotubes. Copyright © 2011 Davood Fathi.
