Recent reports suggest that graphitic tubules with | |
diameters on the order of fullerene diameters have been | |
synthesized. Such small-diameter tubules should have | |
electronic properties related to those of two-dimensional | |
graphite. We demonstrate by comparison with results from | |
a first principles, self-consistent, all electron | |
Gaussian-orbital based local-density functional approach | |
that an all-valence tight binding model can be expected | |
to give a reasonable description of the electronic states | |
of these tubules. In analyzing both high-symmetry tubules | |
and lower-symmetry chiral tubules, we see that a | |
relatively high carrier density could be expected for | |
many of these structures. | |
