Simulating the Electron Transmission with Different Defective Carbon Nanotubes

2. The transmissions of forty-eight carbon nanotube geometries to form twenty-four intramolecular junctions between every two carbon nanotubes and two simple carbon nanotubes are also taken for investigating numerically.These forty-eight carbon nanotubes form three dierent kinds of intramolecular junctions, which mean that each sixteen carbon nanotubes are identical to either sixteen carbon nanotubes in all respect, except three dierent intramolecular junctions in between them.The three intramolecular junctions, named as circumferential defective carbon nanotubes, grouped defective carbon nanotubes and distributed defective carbon nanotubes.The nature of electronic states at the interfaces and in the semiconductor section is analyzed with the help of tight-binding method.These quantum transmissions have been compared among the dierent defective carbon nanotubes and have been correlated with the pentagon and heptagon that formed in the intramolecular junction.It has been simulated that each pair of semiconductor-semiconductor carbon nanotubes, semiconductor-metallic carbon nanotubes and metallic-metallic carbon nanotubes transmission aect on the presence of junctions pentagonsheptagons.The least deviations transmission is observed in the circumferential defective carbon nanotubes rather than in other two and the maximum deviations are seen in the grouped defective carbon nanotubes irrespective of the joining of the carbon nanotube interface.
