Electronic Properties of Carbon Nanostructures

Abstract

The carbon nanostructures are perspective materials for the future applications. This has two reasons: first, the hexagonal atomic structure which enables a high molecular variability by placing different kinds of the defects and second, good electronic properties which can be modified for the purpose of the concrete applications with the help of the defects and of the chemical ingredients. A lot of kinds of the nanostructures was investigated. Here, the properties of less common forms will be examined - the graphitic nanocone and graphitic wormhole.
