Abstract
We employ density-functional plane-wave ab initio and tight-binding methods to study the adsorption and migration of carbon adatoms on single-walled carbon nanotubes. We show that the adatom adsorption and migration energies strongly depend on the nanotube diameter and chirality, which makes the model of the carbon adatom on a flat graphene sheet inappropriate. Calculated migration energies for the adatoms agree well with the activation energies obtained from experiments on annealing of irradiation damage in single-walled nanotubes and attributed to single carbon interstitials.Description
