The Si, Ge, Sn, Pb doped (6,3) Chiral single-walled carbon nanotubes: A computational study

Electronic structure properties including bond lengths, bond angles, dipole moments (μ), energies, band gaps, NMR parameters of the isotropic and anisotropic chemical shielding parameters for the sites of various atoms were calculated using the density functional theory for Si, Ge, Sn, Pb doped (6,3) Chiral single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The calculations indicated that average bond lengths were as: Pb3C>Sn3C>Ge3C>Si3C>C3C. The dipole moments for Si, Ge, Sn, Pb doped (6,3) Chiral single-walled carbon nanotubes structures show fairly large changes with respect to the pristine model.
