Ballistic Transport in Carbon Nanotubes from First-Principles Molecular Dynamics Simulations

We determined the Landauer ballistic conductance of pristine nanotubes at finite temperature via a novel scheme that combines ab-initio molecular dynamics, maximally-localized Wannier functions, and a tight-binding formulation of electronic transport in nanostructures. Large-scale ab-initio molecula...
