Electrical and Mechanical Properties of Twisted Carbon Nanotubes
Alain Rochefort, Phaedon Avouris
We have evaluated the energies required to twist carbon nanotubes (NTs), and investigated the effects of these distortions on their electronic structure and electrical properties.…

Conductance of Distorted Carbon Nanotubes
A. Rochefort, F. Lesage, D. R. Salahub +1
We have calculated the effects of structural distortions of armchair carbon nanotubes on their electrical transport properties. We found that the bending of the nanotubes decreases…
