METHODOLOGY

Method (Ab initio method) Dmol3* Exchange and correlation terms were treat within generalized gradient (GGA) functional by Perdew, Burke and Ernzerholf Core electrons were treated in non-relativistic implementation Double numerical quality basis set with polarization function (DNP) were considered. The tolerances of energy, gradient, and displacement convergence were 0.00027 eV, 0.054 eV/˚A and 0.005 ˚A, respectively. Ab initio total energy calculation in the framework of the density fuctional theory. Implemented in Dmol3 *B.Delley, J.Chem. Phys. 92, 508 (1990)

CONCLUSIONS

Summary and Conclusions In summary, based on a recent discovery of the smallest possible silver nanotube with a square cross-section , we have investigated whether a similar carbon-based structure could exist. We have used ab initio methodology to investigate the structural, stability and electronic properties of carbon nanotubes with square cross-section (CNTSC). Our results show that stable (or at least metastable) CNTSC (finite and infinite) structures can exist. They also show that it is possible to convert SWNT(2,2) to CNTSC.
