In this paper an algorithm for computing the Balaban and Randic indices of any simple connected graph was introduced. Also these indices were computed for IPR C80 fullerene isomers, Zigzag nanotubes and graphene by GAP program.

We present an extensive first-principles study of the phonons in boron nitride nanotubes using density functional perturbation theory in the local density approximation. Based on the nonsymmorphic rod-group symmetry of the tubes, the Ramanand infrared-active modes at the G point of the one-dimensional Brillouin zone are evaluated. For zigzag and chiral nanotubes, the set of infrared-active mode...

Electronic states in nanographite ribbons with zigzag edges and zigzag carbon nanotubes are studied using the extended Hubbard model with nearest neighbor Coulomb interactions. The nearest Coulomb interactions stabilize electronic states with the opposite electric charges separated and localized along both edges. Such states are analogous as nanocondensers. Therefore, electric capacitance, defi...

In this paper we demonstrate that soliton solutions, whose existence is well known in one-dimensional (1D) model anharmonic systems, can also exist in more complex systems such as carbon nanotubes (CNT). We investigate armchair and zigzag nanotubes and show that both can be simplified to anharmonic 1D lattice models with reduced internal degrees of freedom. Because of the differences in chirali...

Adsorption of CO2 on the surface of Single-wall zigzag (5,0) and armchair (4,4) carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were studied through using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Optimizations of geometric were performed at the B3PW91 level of 6-311++G** method standard basis set using GAUSSIAN 03 package of program [1]. Structural models were optimized and adsorption energies, band gap, charge...

Nanotubes are one of the most promising functional materials in nanotechnology. Silicon nanotubes (SiNTs) have been experimentally validated; they are unique puckered nanotubular structures unlike carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Although the electronic and optical properties of SiNTs have been previously studied, their structure-related capability for electron transport has not been investigated. Here...

The extinction and orientational dependence of electron diffraction from single-walled carbon nanotubes have been observed experimentally and investigated in detail theoretically using both algebraic analysis and numerical simulations. Electron diffraction from only achiral carbon nanotubes of zigzag or armchair structure shows observable orientational dependence and extinction of certain layer...
