Electronic properties of disclinated nanostructured cylinder

Abstract

The electronic structure of nanocylinder without and with a small perturbation is investigated with the help of calculation of the local density of states. A continuum gauge field-theory model is used for this purpose. In this model, Dirac equation is solved on a curved surface. The local density of states is calculated from its solution. The case of 2 heptagonal defects is considered. This paper is an extension of our previous work [1] where one heptagonal and one pentagonal defects in hexagonal graphene network were compared. The metallization for the perturbed cylinder structure is found.
