Properties of Carbon Nanotubes: An ab Initio Study Using Large Gaussian Basis Sets and Various DFT Functionals

The structural, electronic, dielectric, and elastic properties of zigzag and armchair single-walled carbon nanotubes are investigated at different DFT levels (LDA, GGA, hybrids) with Gaussian type basis sets of increasing size (from 3-21G to 6-1111G(2d,f)). The longitudinal and transverse polarizabi...
