- Abstract
We performed local density functional calculations for the electronic structure of short carbon nanobells. The calculated local density of states of the nanobells revealed field emission characteristics that agree with experimental observations. We also performed total energy calculations to study the structural stability and a related possible growth mechanism of the nanobells. In the nitrogen-doped carbon nanobells, nitrogen atoms that are attracted to the open-edge sites of the carbon nanobells appear to stop the growth of the nanostructures.
