Abstract

We study the gas molecule adsorption effects on the electrical conductivity of both zigzag (9, 0) and armchair (5, 5) carbon nanotubes. Using the tight-binding model, Green’s function technique and coherent potential approximation, it is found that the adsorption of some gas molecules can cause a change in the electrical conductivity of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes.
