This sets in a band offset between the undeformed and deformed regions of a single nanotube. Based on the superlattice calculations, we show that these features can be exploited to realize various quantum well structures on a single nanotube with variable and reversible electronic properties. These quantum structures and nanodevices incorporate mechanics and electronics.EnglishCarbonElectric conductivityElectron transportQuantum mechanicsSemiconductorVariable and reversible quantum structures on a single carbon nanotubeArticle10.1103/PhysRevB.62.R16345
