摘要：

We report the change of the band structure of two types of carbon nanotubes due to the presence of all isolated, non-conducting, uniformly charged shell held at a fixed distance above their surfaces. We find that, depending on the chirality of the nanotube, the strain on the lattice causes the dispersion relationships to change. This change can result in a modification of the band structure which can induce a metal-semiconductor transition. We consider these effects as a mechanism for heavy-metal ion sensing by functionalized carbon nanotubes. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
