Abstract
The structural and electronic properties of FeCl3 interacting with
single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were investigated by ab initio
methods. By using first-principles spin-polarized calculations, we
studied the structural and electronic behavior of FeCl3 adsorbed on both
semiconducting and metallic SWNTs. It was found that the FeCl3 molecule
behaves as an electron acceptor. The binding energy is very small, thus
suggesting that the interaction is through a physisorption regime.
