heal.abstractStructural and electronic properties of composite Ti-nanowires/single wall carbon nanotubes ((6,0) and (10,0)) (SWNT) were evaluated by means of density functional theory computations. We considered the cases of monoatomic (MNW), BCC (beta-NW) and HCP (alpha-NW) nanowires that were either inserted or deposited in/on the SWNTs. In all cases the NWs turn the cylindrical SWNTs' shape to ellipsoid, an effect that is closely related to charge transfer from Ti toward C neighboring atoms. We found that the wires inside the SWNT appear to be more stable compared to the outside cases, while all NWs contribute with new energy states at the Fermi level, transforming the semiconducting (10,0) to a conducting composite. In addition, we found spin up-down differences in the beta-NWon case and electronic charge redistributions e.g. in alpha-NWin (charge accumulation internally along the tube's axis) or in alpha-NWon (superficial charge accumulation in the vicinity of the NW), accompanied by manifestation of electric dipole moment that reaches the value of 10 Debye in alpha-NWon. These results may be of use in the design of new C-based nanocomposite systems suitable for applications in microelectronics, sensors and catalysis. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.en
