运用第一性原理研究了掺硼碳纳米管(BCNT)顶端吸附水分子后的电子场发射性能.结果表明:掺B及吸附H2O的碳纳米管(BCNT+H2O)端部形成电子聚集的原子尺度微区,其电子态密度(DOS)在费米能级(Ef)附近有很大提高.根据计算的电子DOS,HOMO/LUMO及Mulliken电荷分布等可知BCNT+H2O比CNT+H2O有更好的场发射性能.
The electron field emission performance of CNT doped with one Boron atom and with one adsorbed H2O molecular(BCNT+H2O) was investigated through the calculations of density functional theory(DFT) in this paper.The results indicated that there is an atomic scale region of electron congregation near the top of BCNT+H2O,and the electronic density of states(DOS) round the Fermi level is enhanced obviously.It is expected that BCNT+H2O be suitable for the field emission of electrons,judging from the calculation results of DOS,HOMO/LUMO and Mulliken charge population.
