We show that the photoluminescence intensity of single-walled carbon nanotubes is much stronger in tubes with large chiral angles - armchair tubes - because exciton resonances make the luminescence of zigzag tubes intrinsically weak. This…

Carbon nanotubes are a good realization of one-dimensional crystals where basic science and potential nanodevice applications merge. Defects are known to modify the electrical resistance of carbon nanotubes. They can be present in as-grown…

The thermal properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are of significant interest, yet their dependence on SWNT chirality has been, until now, not explored experimentally. Here we used electrical heating and infrared thermal…

Atomic models of zigzag (n, 0)- and armchair (n,n)-like NiCl2 nanotubes (n = 4 - 29) formed by rolling (100) single layers of the bulk NiCl2 which crystallizes in the CdCl2-type structure, are constructed and their electronic properties and…

This paper examines the effect of temperature on the structural stability and mechanical properties of 20 layered (10,10) single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) under tensile loading using an O(N) tight binding molecular dynamics (TBMD)…

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…

Structural identification of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWNT) is presented through a robust procedure based on the latest generation of transmission electron microscope, making possible a statistical analysis based on numerous…

Recent studies of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in aqueous media have showed that water can significantly affect the tube mechanical properties. CNTs under hydrostatic compression can preserve their elastic properties up to large…

The single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) can be a one-dimensional topological insulator, which is characterized by a $\mathbb{Z}$-topological invariant, winding number. Using the analytical expression for the winding number, we classify the…

The high aspect ratio of carbon nanotubes makes them prone to bending. To know how bending affects the tubes is therefore crucial for tube identification and for electrical component design. Very few studies, however, have investigated…

The frictional properties of individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are studied by sliding an atomic force microscopy tip across and along its principle axis. This direction-dependent frictional behavior is found to correlate strongly with the…

The intrinsic mechanical strength of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) within the diameter range of 0.3-0.8 nm has been studied based on ab initio density functional theory calculations. In contrast to predicting "smaller is stronger…

Studies of the mechanical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes are hindered by the availability only of ensembles of tubes with a range of diameters. Tunable Raman excitation spectroscopy picks out identifiable tubes. Under high…

A new form of gold nanobridges has been recently observed in ultrahigh-vacuum experiments, where the gold atoms rearrange to build helical nanotubes, akin in some respects to carbon nanotubes. The good reproducibility of these wires and…

The electronic and structural properties of zigzag and armchair single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) with a single vacancy or two vacancies located at various distances have been obtained within the frame of the Density Function Theory…

Using the first principles calculations we have studied the vibrational modes and Raman spectra of a (10, 10) single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) bundle under hydrostatic pressure. Detailed analysis shows that the original radial breathing…

We report a detailed analysis of the optical properties of single wall carbon nanotubes with different mean diameters as produced by laser ablation. From a combined study of optical absorption, high resolution electron energy-loss…

We characterize the response of isolated single- (SWNT) and multi-wall (MWNT) carbon nanotubes and bundles to static electric fields using first-principles calculations and density-functional theory. The longitudinal polarizability of SWNTs…

Single-walled carbon nanotubes show promise as nanoscale transistors, for nanocomputing applications. This use will require appropriate methods for creating electrical connections between distinct nanotubes, analogous to welding of metallic…

We explore the possibility and potential benefit of rolling a Si2BN sheet into single-walled nanotubes (NTs). Using density functional theory (DFT), we consider both structural stability and the impact on the nature of chemical bonding and…
