Abstract

Pristine metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes (6, 0), surface engineered with pyrimidine type DNA nucleobases, thymine and cytosine respectively, are transformed into semimetal forms by band structure engineering of the nanotubes. The hybrid systems are designed using ATK–VNL simulation software. Band structure and zero bias transmission spectra analysis witness a very small overlap between the conduction and valence bands around the Fermi level. IV-characteristic curves also support the semimetallic nature of SWCNT–DNA nucleobase coupling. The altered electronic structure of SWCNT is achieved due to strong chemisorption imparted by hydrogenation of DNA nucleobases which induce partial sp3 hybridization in the nanotube structure. Metal to semimetal conversion results in conductivity modulation in SWCNT and it has several applications in various fields like nano-electronics including NEMS design.
