Abstract
A discussion about magnetism of transition-metal/carbon nanotube hybrid structures was presented. Ab initio geometry optimization and spin-polarized electronic structure calculations were performed using ultrasoft pseudopotentials with a plane-wave basis. The calculations showed that such transition-metal/nanotube hybrid structures exhibit substantial magnetism.
