We demonstrate a novel cross-sectional deformation, called the radial corrugation, of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) under hydrostatic pressure. Theoretical analyses based on the continuum elastic approximation have revealed that…
Radial elastic corrugation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes under hydrostatic pressure is demonstrated by using the continuum elastic theory. Various corrugation patterns are observed under a pressure of several GPa, wherein the stable…
Elastic radial deformation of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) under hydrostatic pressure is investigated within the continuum elastic approximation. The thin-shell theory, with accurate elastic constants and interwall couplings, allows…
Spontaneous polygonization for a multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been observed for about two decades. In present manuscript, this phenomenon is understood by the competition between cohesion energy (with lattice mismatching…

We present a multispectroscopic structural study of various nanotube samples with different tube diameters. We determine for each sample the mean bundle and tube diameter as well as the tube diameter distribution. The possibility to work on…
Structural and thermal characteristics of crystalline ropes of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are investigated. Novel crystalline ropes of polygonized SWCNTs produced by laser irradiation exhibit rounded-hexagonal cross sections in…
Three kinds of the response mechanisms to the external pressure have been found for double-walled carbon nanotube (DWNT) bundle, depending strongly on their average radius and symmetry. The small-diameter DWNT bundle undergoes a small…

We use classical molecular dynamics simulations to study the collapse of single (SWNT) and double-walled (DWNT) carbon nanotube bundles under hydrostatic pressure. The collapse pressure (pc) varies as 1/R^3, where R is the SWNT radius or…
Molecular level components, like carbon multiwalled nanotubes (MWNT), show great potential for future nanoelectronics. At low frequencies, only the outermost carbon layer determines the transport properties of the MWNT. Due to the…

The propagation of azimuthally symmetric guided waves in multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was analyzed theoretically in the mid-infrared and the visible regimes. The MWCNTs were modeled as ensembles of concentric, cylindrical,…
The ultra-low intershell shear strength in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been the primary obstacle to applications of CNTs as mechanical reinforcements. In this paper we propose a new CNT-system composed of comprising of coaxial cylindrical…
