Band structures and partial charge densities of the lowest unoccupied crystal orbital (LUCO) and the highest occupied crystal orbital (HOCO) for the T(5,3) structure with the strain of (a) ɛ = 4.0%, (b) ɛ = 0.0%, and (c) ɛ = −4.6%. In band structures the black (red) and dark gray (blue) color denote the majority and minority spin states, respectively.[ 68 ]
