We propose an ab-initio combination of the Linear Muffin-Tin Orbital and theRecursion Methods to study the effect of extended Stone-Wales defects in singlelayer Carbon nanotubes. We have successfully applied this to zigzag andarmchair tubes. The methodology involves no intrinsic mean-field likeassumptions or external parameter fitting. As defects proliferate, the lowdensity of states near the Fermi levels of the pristine tubes is filled withdefect states. The increase of DOS at the Fermi level leads to enhancedconduction, which indicates enhanced metallicity due to SW defects in thenanotubes.

Increased metallicity of Carbon nanotubes because of incorporation of extended Stone-Wales' defects: an ab-initio real space approach
