Super-compressible foam-like carbon nanotube films have been reported to exhibit highly nonlinear viscoelastic behaviour in compression similar to soft tissue. Their unique combination of light weight and exceptional electrical, thermal and…
We report the fabrication of a nanoelectromechanical system consisting of a plate rotating around a multiwalled nanotube bearing. The motion is possible thanks to the low intershell friction. Indeed, the nanotube has been engineered so that…
The assembly of aligned carbon nanotubes (CNT) into fibers (CNTF) is a convenient approach to exploit and apply the unique physico-chemical properties of CNTs in many fields. CNT functionalization has been extensively used for their…
A carbon nanotube is an ideal object for understanding the atomic scale aspects of interface interaction and friction. Using molecular statics and dynamics methods different types of motion of nanotubes on a graphite surface are…
We report the first demonstration that carbon nanotubes can be trapped and manipulated by optical tweezers. This observation is surprising because individual nanotubes are substantially smaller than the wavelength of light, and thus should…
The article reviews recent progress in the theoretical understanding of near-field surface electromagnetic phenomena in pristine and atomically doped carbon nanotubes. The phenomena involving strong coupling effects are outlined. They are…
Nanotube-based systems are good candidates for optical limiting against broadband laser pulses. We explore new routes to improve their limiting performances. We show that the diameter of the nanotubes is a key factor to control the…
The electronic spectra of long carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can, to a very good approximation, be obtained using the dispersion relation of graphene with both angular and axial periodic boundary conditions. In short CNTs one must account for the…
We investigate the response of multi-walled carbon nanotubes to mechanical strain applied with an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) probe. We find that in some samples, changes in the contact resistance dominate the measured resistance change.…

Carrier injection into carbon nanotubes and graphene nanoribbons, contacted by a metal coating over an arbitrary length, is studied by various means: Minimal models allow for exact analytic solutions which can be transferred to the original…
Corrosion is an inevitable phenomenon that is inherent in metals and even though there has been significant research on this subject, no ideal protection has been discovered to fully prevent corrosion. However, methods such as using…
A pristine suspended carbon nanotube is a near ideal environment to host long-lived quantum states. For this reason, they have been used as the core element of qubits and to explore numerous condensed matter physics phenomena. One of the…
We have studied tunneling of electrons into multi-wall carbon nanotubes. Nanotube/electrode interfaces with low transparency as well as nanotube/nanotube junctions created with atomic force microscope manipulation have been used. The…
We develop a new theory of an optical force exerted on a carbon nanotube (CNT) with a nonlocal conductivity. The optical force is expressed in terms of the surface current density and the axial electric field on the CNT surface. To…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) make an ideal one-dimensional (1D) material platform for the exploration of exotic physical phenomena under extremely strong quantum confinement. The 1D character of electrons, phonons and excitons in individual CNTs…
Careful research on different materials reveals that the material properties are mostly affected by the size of it. Material size down to nanometer scale exhibits some remarkable properties, resulting in unique physical and chemical…
