摘要
Edge effects on possible magnetism appearing in finite hydrogenated zigzag nanotubes are investigated using the DFT-LSDA calculations. Our result shows that two types of edges, i.e. a mono-hydrogenated zigzag edge (MHZE) and a di-hydrogenated zigzag edge (DHZE), can give magnetic moments in finite nanotubes. Due to curvature of the tube, however, the total magnetic moment S-tot is smaller than an expected value given by a counting rule of S-tot, which holds for magnetic nanographite ribbons. In addition to magnetic nanotubes found by Okada and Oshiyama, we show that a (7, 0) tube and an (8, 0) tube with both MHZE and DHZE are magnetic. The reactions to create hydrogenated (7, 0) and (8, 0) tubes are exothermic.
