J. Ma et Rk. Yuan, ELECTRONIC AND OPTICAL-PROPERTIES OF FINITE ZIGZAG CARBON NANOTUBES WITH AND WITHOUT COULOMB INTERACTION, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 57(15), 1998, pp. 9343-9348
The effects of electron-electron interaction on properties of zigzag c
arbon nanotubes with caps at both ends an theoretically investigated b
y employing an extended Peierls-Hubbard model. The electron-electron i
nteraction is treated within the frame of Hartree-Fock approximation.
Then the electronic structures and optical properties of zigzag nanotu
bes with and without the electron-electron interaction are investigate
d. Furthermore, we also study the dependence of its electronic and opt
ical properties on its length. [S0163-1829(98)06615-6].
