Abstract

We study the influence of structural lattice fluctuations on the elastic electron transport in single-wall carbon nanotubes within a density-functional-based scheme. Results obtained from a frozen-phonon approach as well as from molecular dynamics simulations are compared. The linear conductance can be calculated after appropriate configurational averages. We demonstrate that the effect of ...
