▎ 摘  要

Electronic structures of nanotube-graphene hybrid carbon systems are calculated by the tight-binding model. The Lennard-Jones potential is used to determine the optimal geometry between nanotubes and a monolayer graphene. The periodic alignment of nanotubes on graphene results in quasi-one-dimensional physical phenomena. The low-frequency energy dispersions are significantly influenced by the interlayer interactions, such as the removal of subband degeneracy, creation of extra band-edge states, and modulation of energy gaps. The composite systems could be either metals or semiconductors according to the alignment and geometry of nanotubes. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
