We investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) filled with Fe nanowires, based on the spin-polarized density functional theory. We find that in the stable structure, the Fe-filled (3, 3) and (5, 0) SWNTs exhibit semiconducting properties, and the magn...
