Defect Theory: An Armchair History
نویسندگان
چکیده
This introductory chapter begins with a summary of the developments of the theory of defects in semiconductors in the past 50 years. This is followed by an overview of single-particle methods and today’s first-principles approach, rooted in density-functional theory. Much more detail about this theory and the approximations it involves is found in subsequent chapters. The last section discusses the various contributions to this book.

Density Functional Theory Studies of Defects in the (5,5) Silicon Nanotube
We have performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the properties of defect in arepresentative armchair model of silicon nanotubes (SiNTs). To this aim, the structures of pristine and defective(5,5) SiNTs have been optimized and the properties such as bond lengths, total energies, binding energies,.formation energies, gap energies, and dipole moments have been evaluat...
متن کاملElectronic Structure and Reactivity of Boron Nitride Nanoribbons with Stone-Wales Defects.
Gradient-corrected density functional theory (DFT) computations were performed to investigate the geometry, electronic property, formation energy, and reactivity of Stone-Wales (SW) defects in zigzag-edge and armchair-edge boron nitride nanoribbons (BNNRs). The formation energies of SW defects increase with an increase in the widths of BNNRs and are orientation-dependent. SW defects considerabl...
متن کاملDefect complexes in carbon and boron nitride nanotubes.
The effect of defect complexes on the stability, structural and electronic properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes and boron nitride nanotubes is investigated using the ab initio pseudopotential density functional method implemented in the Castep code. We found more substantial atomic relaxations in the zig-zag carbon nanotube than the armchair one. We find that the B(C)B(c) defect introdu...
متن کاملThe band calculation and local state analysis for armchair graphene-like nanoribbons with line defects
In this paper we propose an analytical method to calculate the band structures of graphene-like nanoribbons of the armchair type with arbitrary line defects or uniaxial strains. The model is based on the tight-binding model and the standing wave assumption for the armchair nanoribbons. It gives accurate band results for large supercell systems. Within this method, we analyze different local sta...

In this study, a three-dimensional finite element (FE) model for armchair, zigzag and chiral single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is proposed. To create the FE models, nodes are placed at the locations of carbon atoms and the bonds between them are modeled using three-dimensional elastic beam elements. The FE model is used to investigate the influence of chirality and Stone-Wales defects on ...
