Article Synopsis
- The study uses density-functional theory to explore how carbon nanotubes (CNTs) interact with Si(001) stepped surfaces, focusing on armchair CNTs of different diameters (5,5), (9,9), and (13,13).
- The (9,9) CNT shows the best adhesion at a specific step edge position, while the other two CNTs prefer to attach on flat surface areas, highlighting a diameter-based arrangement strategy.
- Adsorption alters the electronic properties of the CNTs; notably, the (9,9) CNT becomes semiconducting with linear energy bands, whereas the (13,13) CNT indicates potential for spin polarization when placed on the step edge.
