Abstract
Carbon nanotubes with finite lengths should be natural components of future "nano devices". Based on orthogonal tight-binding molecular dynamics simul ations, we report on our study of formation energies, optimal geometrical s tructures and active sites of carbon nanotubes with finite lengths. This sh ould be useful to understand the properties of such natural components.
