3 Intercalation with alkali metals will transfer charge to the carbon nanotube. Raman data by Rao et al., Nature 388, 257 (1997) EELS data by Liu et al., PRB 67, (2003) The charge transfer results in a metallic state and enhancement of conductivity, Lee et al., Nature 388, 255 (1997) Both DFT and molecular dynamics simulations show that the alkali metal atoms intercalate the hollow sites between adjacent tubes Miyamoto et al., PRL, 74, 2993 (1995) Gao et al. PRL, 80, 5556 (1998) Introduction

4 Geometry optimizations and band structure calculations of K intercalated (4,4) and (7,0) SWCNT’s. Ground state geometries: what is the effect of CT on the geometry. Heat of formation: which are the most stable K concentrations/ configurations. Electronic structure: band structure and density of states: how does CT affect the electronic structure Synopsis

Maximum heat of formation is obtained for the staggered phase. Heats of formation

9 Band structure, K-intercalated (4,4) SWCNT

10 Intertube interactions, (4,4) SWCNT PristineK-intercalated, C 32 K 2 The band-widths perpendicular to the (reciprocal) tube axis are slightly reduced upon K-intercalation.

11 Density of states, (4,4) SWCNT The Fermi energy can enter regions of very high density of states.

12 Band structure, K-intercalated (7,0) SWCNT The manifold of dispersive bands above –6 eV makes the (7,0) NT highly electronegative. This explains the higher Heats of formation of the K-intercalated phases as compared to the (4,4) NT.

13 Density of states, SWCNT (4,4) (7,0)

14 Conclusions Narrow SWCNT’s show two different bond-lengths, the effect is particularly strong for zigzag tubes. Upon intercalation with potassium the size of the unit cell perpendicular to the tube axis expands. The bond-lengths are also sensitive to K-intercalation, in particular in the case of the zigzag (7,0) SWCNT. K-intercalation results in charge transfer and shift in the Fermi energy for both the (4,4) and the (7,0) SWCNT. The dispersion perpendicular to the tube axis is slightly reduced as a result of K-intercalation. The Fermi energy of the (4,4) tube can be shifted to a region of very high density of states upon K-intercalation.
