✦ Synopsis

In this paper we use ab initio density functional theory (DFT) to calculate the electronic transport properties of the endohedral fullerene N@C 60 encapsulated within ðn; mÞ single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) to produce carbon nanotube peapods (CNPs). By comparing the electronic properties of C 60 @ðn; mÞ and N@C 60 @ðn; mÞ CNPs, we demonstrate that due to the inertness of the inner surface of the C 60 cage, the nitrogen is very well protected from its environment.

We present self-consistent quantum transport calculations for device structures based on metallic and semiconducting carbon nanotubes. We combine the non-equilibrium Green's function formalism with an extended Hu¨ckel Hamiltonian and a Poisson solver for a realistic representation of the device and
