Abstract: In this present contribution, electronic structure and optical properties of pure (5,5) single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and doped (Si, Ge, Sn) SWCNTs are investigated by the first principles calculation. The results show that the bandgap of Sn doped system has a minimum value of 0.034 eV, compared with other systems, indicating the semiconductor performance. The charge difference density maps show that the locality around atoms decreases after doping, indicating that the bond strength between carbon atoms and doped atoms weakens.The population value analysis shows that the covalent bond between Sn atom and C atom is the weakest. In the absorption spectrum, the peak values of doping systems all decrease slightly and there is a phenomenon of blue shift. In addition, compared with those of the undoped system, the peak va-lues of absorption spectrum and reflection spectrum of Sn doped system are significantly reduced, which allows more light to pass through the coating and then be absorbed by solar cells, making it a promising application prospect in the field of solar cells as anti-reflection film material.
