We explore the equations of state and other properties of various quantum fluids (3He, 4He, their mixtures, and H_2) confined within individual carbon nanotubes. Above a threshold number of particles, N_a, the fluid density near the axis…

Amorphous carbon nanotubes (a-CNT) with up to four walls and sizes ranging from 200 to 3200 atoms have been simulated, starting from initial random configurations and using the Gaussian Approximation Potential [Phys. Rev. B 95, 094203…

First-principles simulations were performed to investigate reaction of carbon nanotubes with adsorbed metal atoms. Mechanical modification of their structures enhances chemical reactivity of carbon nanotubes. Adsorption of a tungsten,…

The modeling of carbon nanotube-metal contacts is important from both basic and applied view points. For many applications, it is important to design contacts such that the transmission is dictated by intrinsic properties of the nanotube…

We have studied the electronic structure and charge-carrier dynamics of individual single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and nanotube ropes using optical and electron-spectroscopic techniques. The electronic structure of semiconducting SWNTs…

A simple model is developed to predict the complex mechanical properties of carbon nanotube sheets (buckypaper) [Hall \textit{et al.}, \textit{Science} \textbf{320} 504 (2008)]. Fabricated using a similar method to that deployed for making…

We present a detailed study of the lattice dynamics and electron-phonon coupling for a (3,3) carbon nanotube which belongs to the class of small diameter based nanotubes which have recently been claimed to be superconducting. We treat the…

The rheological and electrical properties of suspensions of carbon nanotubes in an uncured epoxy resin were investigated by means of shear rheology and impedance spectroscopy. It was found that above an onset CNT weight fraction (0.1 wt %),…

By means of {\it ab initio} simulations, we investigate the phonon band structure and electron-phonon coupling in small 4-\AA diameter nanotubes. We show that both the C(5,0) and C(3,3) tubes undergo above room temperature a Peierls…

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have many interesting properties; they may be metallic or semiconducting depending on their diameter and helicity of the graphene sheet. Hydrostatic or quasi-hydrostatic high pressures can probe many…

Due to their chiral structure, carbon nanosprings possess unique properties that are promising for nanotechnology applications. The structural transformations of carbon nanosprings in the form of spiral macromolecules derived from planar…

The thermoelectric properties of two typical SiGe nanotubes are investigated using a combination of density functional theory, Boltzmann transport theory, and molecular dynamics simulations. Unlike carbon nanotubes, these SiGe nanotubes…

For the first time, an approach is suggested for the quantitative description of the electronic structure of single-walled carbon nanotubes and the prediction of active sites for the tube controlled functionalization in view of the tube…

Disorder effects on the density of states and electronic conduction in metallic carbon nanotubes are analyzed by a tight binding model with Gaussian bond disorder. Metallic armchair and zigzag nanotubes are considered. We obtain a…

Macroscopic fibres of carbon nanotubes are hierarchical structures combining long building blocks preferentially oriented along the fibre axis and a large porosity arising from the imperfect packing of bundles. Synchrotron small-angle X-ray…

We present numerical renormalization group calculations for the zero-bias conductance of quantum dots made from semiconducting carbon nanotubes. These explain and reproduce the thermal evolution of the conductance for different groups of…

BaFe2Se3 (Pnma, CsAg2I3-type structure), recently assumed to show superconductivity at ~ 11 K, exhibits a pressure-dependent structural transition to the CsCu2Cl3-type structure (Cmcm space group) around 60 kbar, as evidenced from…

Combining a classical force field, a tight-binding model, and first-principles calculations, we have studied structural, electronic, and optical properties of double-walled carbon nanotube (DWNT) bundles under hydrostatic pressure. We find…

It is shown by the method of molecular dynamics using a chain model that a multilayer packaging of identical single-walled carbon nanotubes with a diameter of D>2.5 nm located on a flat substrate is a multistable system. The system has many…

Atomic and electronic structures of phosphorene nanoribbons are studied within density functional theory. These novel materials present different physical phenomena expected in two very different physical systems: one dimensional metallic…
