ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE OF METALLIC SINGLE-WALL CARBON NANOTUBES TIGHT-BINDING VERSUS FREE-ELECTRON APPROXIMATION... 

For metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes the free-electron model of electronic structure with finite thickness of the conducting shell is proposed. The band stmcture calculations in the frame of this model of armchair (n,n) nanotubes (for n = 5-10) show essential similarity with tight-binding description.

Heath discovered that hexane solutions of Ag nanoparticles, passivated with octanethiol, formed spontaneous patterns on the surface of water when the hexane was evaporated, " and has prepared superlattices of quantum dots. " Lieber has investigated the energy gaps in metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes and has used an atomic-force microscope to mechanically bend SWNT in order to create quantum dots less than 100 nm in length. He found that most metallic SWNT are not true metals, and that by bending the SWNT, a defect was produced that had a resistance of 10 to 100 kfl. Placing two defects less than 100 nm apart produced the quantum dots.
