摘    要:对比了第一性原理中从头算方法、半经验方法和密度泛函方法的计算误差、计算消耗等参数,认为:对armchair型单壁碳管进行半经验的AM1/STO-3G基组水平的计算,其结果已足够用于计算能隙,且省时。选取m=n=3,4,5,6,7,8,10等结构的armchair型碳管,采用AM1方法对最高已占据分子轨道HOMO和最低空余轨道LUMO能级以及其能量进行系统计算和分析,其结果与实验结果一致。研究结果表明:对于armchair型纳米碳管,其能隙随直径的增大大致呈指数型衰减,轴向电导性逐渐增大;α和β电子交替分布在碳管管壁周围,且其电子密度i随直径的增大而趋于碳层表面的电子密度,σ键和π键的弯曲度减小,其径向特性大大减弱,纳米碳管性质逐渐趋近单层石墨性质,降低了其化学活性。

Abstract: The computing errors and computing consumptions of ab initio, semi-empirical and density functional transformation (DFT) method were compared with each other. The results show that the Austin Model 1(AM1), which belongs to semi-empirical methods is very fit for the research of energy gap of single wall carbon nanotubes in STO-3G level. Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) and Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) energy gap of a series of dimension-variational single wall carbon nanotubesm=n=3,4,5,6,7,8,10 were computed.The results are in agreement with those of experiments. With the increasing of the diameter of tube, the energy gap exponentially reduces and the conductivity increases gradually. α and β electrons distribute alternately around the nanotube. With the increase of the diameter of tube, the curvatures of σ and π bonds reduce, the electron density closes up the surface of tube, and the radial character and chemical activity of the nanotube reduce.
