The linear polarizability absorption spectra of the double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) have been calculated by using the tight-binding (TB) model and sum-over-state (SOS) method, supplemented by the first principles CASTEP calculations.…
The equilibrium density of fluids under nanoconfinement can differ substantially from their bulk density. Using a mean-field approach to describe the energetic landscape near the carbon nanotube (CNT) wall, we obtain analytical results…
This article provides an overview of the modeling of the effective thermomechanical properties of the multifunctional carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced hybrid composites for advanced structural applications. The novel constructional feature…
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…
We consider three-dimensional reshaping of a thin nematoelastic film upon nematic-isotropic transition in the field of a charge one topological defect, leading to either cone or anticone (d-cone) shells. The analysis is based on the…
A simplified theory of the telescopic oscillations in multiwalled carbon nanotubes is developed. The explicit expressions for the telescopic force constants (longitudinal rigidity) and the frequencies of telescopic oscillations are derived.…
Band structure is theoretically studied in partially flattened carbon nanotubes within an effective-mass scheme. Effects of inter-wall interactions are shown to be important in non-chiral nanotubes such as zigzag and armchair and can…
The curvature dependence of the physisorption properties of a water molecule inside and outside an armchair carbon nanotube (CNTs) is investigated by an incremental density-fitting local coupled cluster treatment with single and double…
In this dissertation, thermal and electrical properties of aligned multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) prepared by thermal decomposition of hydrocarbons have been experimentally studied. The thesis consists of six chapters. Ch1 is an…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted increasing attention because of their unique structural, mechanical, and electronic properties. Surface chemistry modifications are also useful and critical to manipulate the adsorptive properties of…
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…
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…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are nonlinear high-Q resonators with strong coupling to single-electron tunneling. We begin by describing several methods to detect the flexural motion of a CNT resonator. Next, we illustrate how single-electron…
This work presents a model that successfully describes the tensile properties of macroscopic fibres of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The core idea is to treat such a fibre as a network of CNT bundles, similar to the structure of high-performance…
In this supplement we present a short derivation of dynamical equations of thin elastic shell in the framework of modified nonlinear Sanders-Koiter theory, and their relationship with the dynamics of one-dimensional oscillatory chain.
Understanding the role of cap structure during the nucleation and growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is essential for achieving chirality-controlled synthesis. In this work, we propose a novel and intuitive algorithm to…
In this work we present an ab-initio study of electronic properties of 1 dimensional (1D) core-shell nanostructures made of MS2 (MoS2, WS2) or BN armchair nanotube encapsulated carbon nanotubes (CNT). With local density approximation (LDA)…
Sensing technologies have been under research and development for their varied applications from microelectronics to space exploration. With the end of Moores law in sight, there is growing demand for shrinking materials and improving…
To study the shape formation process of carbon nanotubes, a string equation describing the possible existing shapes of the axis-curve of multishell carbon tubes (MCTs) is obtained in the continuum limit by minimizing the shape energy, that…
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…
