摘要：

The adsorption of carbon dimers on carbon nanotubes leads to a rich spectrum of structures and electronic structure modifications. Barriers for the formation of carbon dimer induced defects are calculated and found to be considerably lower than those for the Stone-Wales defect. The electronic states introduced by the ad-dimers depend on defect structure and tube type and size. Multiple carbon ad-dimers provide a route to structural engineering of patterned tubes that may be of interest for nanoelectronics.
