Abstract:In this paper, the electronic and magnetic properties of single-walled ZnO:Ag nanotubes with a chirality of (6,0) were investigated. Ab initio simulations were carried out using Atomistic ToolKit computer code implementing density functional theory within the local spin density approximation. To obtain an accurate energy band gap for related systems, we used the Hubbard U semiempirical corrections. The introduction of the Ag atom into the ZnO nanotube structure changes the electronic structure, the energy gap … Show more
