Carbon nanostructures are promising materials to improve the performance of current gas separation membrane technologies. From the molecular modeling perspective, an accurate description of the interfacial interactions is mandatory to…
An analytical method to investigate wave propagation in single- and double- walled carbon nanotubes under initial compression stress is presented. The nanotube structures are treated within the multilayer thin shell approximation with the…
It is shown that it is now possible to include van der Waals interactions via a nonempirical implementation of density functional theory to describe the correlation energy in electronic structure calculations on infinite systems of no…
Gas molecules trapped between graphene and various substrates in the form of bubbles are observed experimentally. The study of these bubbles is useful in determining the elastic and mechanical properties of graphene, adhesion energy between…
A convenient scheme is presented for calculating potential energy of van der Waals interacting bilayer graphene and other similar 2D compounds. It is based on the notion of the existence of two types of local symmetry of carbon atoms…
The first principles approaches, density functional theory (DFT) and quantum Monte Carlo, have been used to examine the balance between van der Waals (vdW) forces and hydrogen (H) bonding in ambient and high pressure phases of ice. At…
Effective pair potentials for hollow nanoparticles like the ones made from carbon (fullerenes) or metal dichalcogenides (inorganic fullerenes) consist of a hard core repulsion and a deep, but short-ranged, van der Waals attraction. We…
We develop a continuous theory of low-frequency dynamics for nanotubes with truly two-dimensional (2D) walls constituted by single-atom monolayer. In this frame topological bending elasticity of the monolayer is not related to its vanishing…
A continuous model of double-walled carbon nanotube (DWCNT) low-frequency dynamics was constructed. In the frame of the approach proposed formation of a DWCNT low-frequency phonon spectrum from the ones of corresponding single-walled carbon…
Understanding surface forces of two-dimensional (2D) materials is of fundamental importance as they govern molecular dynamics and atomic deposition in nanoscale proximity. Despite recent observations in wetting transparency and remote…
Three questions should be interesting, for better understanding of the basic physics of damage creation and stopping ions of different types, in the damaged tube: 1) Between the mass and charge effects, i.e. potential- independent and…
It was thought that the van der Waals force and gravitational force were distinct. Now a model is used to describe the attraction between macroscopic objects according to van der Waals interaction. The force between two objects with thermal…
We compute the conservative van-der-Waals forces between two atoms, one of which is initially excited, in the limit of identical atoms. Starting with the perturbative calculation of the interaction between two dissimilar atoms, we show that…
Carbon nanotubes are the focus of considerable research efforts due to their fascinating physical properties. They provide an excellent model system for the study of one dimensional materials and molecular electronics. The chirality of…
This paper is the first one of a series of two articles in which we revisit the optical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT). Produced by rolling up a graphene sheet, SWNT owe their intriguing properties to their cylindrical…
The van de Waals interaction between two graphene sheets is studied at finite temperatures. Graphene's thermal length $(\xi_T = \hbar v / k_B T)$ controls the force versus distance $(z)$ as a crossover from the zero temperature results for…
Carbon nanotubes provide one of the most accessible experimental realizations of one dimensional electron systems. In the experimentally relevant regime of low doping the Luttinger liquid formed by electrons may be approximated by a Wigner…
Carbon Nanotubes (CNs) are made of tubular graphite layers. These macromolecules have interesting features which are generally introduced in the first chapter of the thesis. In the rest of the thesis, the light conduction in metallic CNs is…
Single walled carbon nanotube's cross section can be flattened under hydrostatic pressure. One example is the cross section of a single walled carbon nanotube successively deforms from the original round shape to oval shape, then to…
Using Lifshitz theory we assess the role of van der Waals forces at interfaces of ice and water. The results are combined with measured structural forces from computer simulations to develop a quantitative model of the surface free energy…
