Structural and Electronic Properties of a Carbon Nanotorus: Effects of Delocalized Vs Localized Deformations
Lei Liu, C. S. Jayanthi, S. Y. Wu
The bending of a carbon nanotube is studied by considering the structural evolution of a carbon nanotorus from elastic deformation to the onset of the kinks and eventually to the c…

Factors Responsible for the Stability and the Existence of a Clean Energy Gap of a Silicon Nanocluster
Lei Liu, C. S. Jayanthi, S. Y. Wu
We present a critical theoretical study of electronic properties of silicon nanoclusters, in particular the roles played by symmetry, relaxation, and hydrogen passivation on the th…

Broken Symmetry, Boundary Conditions, and Band Gap Oscillations in Finite Single Wall Nanotubes
Lei Liu, C. S. Jayanthi, H. Guo +1
We have shown how the interplay between the broken symmetry associated with the finite single-wall nanotubes (SWNT) and the boundary conditions affects the electronic properties of…
