Geometrical and electronic structures of open-ended single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are calculated using density functional theory (DFT) with hybrid functional (B3LYP) approximation. Due to different distances between carbon atoms along the edge, reconstruction occurs at the open end of the (4,4) armchair SWCNT, i.e., triple bonds are formed in the carbon atom pairs at the mouth; however, for the (6,0) zigzag SWCNT, electrons in dangling bonds still remain at 'no-bonding' states. The ionization potential (1P) of both (4,4) and (6,0) SWCNTs is increased by their negative intrinsic dipole moments, and localized electronic states existed at both of their open ends.
