摘要
When a pentagon defect is introduced into a gaphite sheet, a cone structure is formed. We simulate scanning-tunneling-microscopy (STM) images of the graphitic cone based on density-functional calculations. Simulated STM images show approximately root 3 x root 3 superstructures consisting of ring patterns which reproduce well the petal-like structure observed in experiments. An analysis using the effective-mass theory shows that the superstructures by the topological defects are qualitatively different from those observed often around defects of flat graphite surfaces.
