Abstract

Fundamentally new families of carbon single walled nanotubes are proposed. These nanotubes, called graphynes, result from the elongation of covalent interconnections of graphite-based nanotubes by the introduction of yne groups. Similarly to ordinary nanotubes, armchair, zig-zag, and chiral graphyne nanotubes are possible. We present here results for the electronic properties of graphyne based tubes obtained from tight-binding and ab initio density functional methods.
