We simulate the twist of carbon nanotubes using atomic molecular dynamic simulations. The ultimate twist angle per unit length and the deformation energy are calculated for nanotubes of different geometries. It is found that the big tube is…
For sparse materials like graphitic systems and carbon nanotubes the standard density functional theory (DFT) faces significant problems because it cannot accurately describe the van der Waals interactions that are essential to the…
There is an emerging recognition that successful utilization of chiral degrees of freedom can bring new scientific and technological opportunities to diverse research areas. Hence, methods are being sought for creating artificial matter…
Controlled synthesis of materials with specified atomic structures underpins technological advances yet remains reliant on iterative, trial-and-error approaches. Nanoparticles (NPs), whose atomic arrangement dictates their emergent…
We report the existence of broad and weakly asymmetric features in the high-energy (G) Raman modes of freely suspended metallic carbon nanotubes of defined chiral index. A significant variation in peak width (from 12 cm-1 to 110 cm-1) is…
We study here polaron (soliton) states of electrons or holes in a model describing carbon-type nanotubes. In the Hamiltonian of the system we take into account the electron-phonon interaction that arises from the deformation dependencies of…
Tellurium can form nanowires of helical atomic chains. Given their unique one-dimensional van der Waals structure, these nanowires are expected to show remarkably different physical and electronic properties than bulk tellurium. Here we…
Nano-diameter tubules made of folded graphitic sheets have drawn the attention of physicists ever since the advent of fullerene research. These are interesting because of their conductivity (depends upon chirality) as well as their…
A Stillinger-Weber interatomic potential is parameterized for phosphorene. It well reproduces the crystal structure, cohesive energy and phonon dispersion predicted by first-principles calculations. The thermal conductivity of phosphorene…
Thin adhesive films can be removed from substrates, torn, and folded in distinct geometries under external driving forces. In two-dimensional materials, however, these processes can be self-driven as shown in previous studies on folded…
One-dimensional nanostructures such as nanowires and nanotubes are stimulating tremendous interest due to their structural, electronic and magnetic properties. In this study, the first principle calculation was performed to investigate on…
The phonon dispersion of chiral single wall carbon nanotubes has been obtained from $6\times 6$ dyanimic matrix. The present manuscript is the extension of G. D. Mahan and Gun Sang Jeon's work on armchair and zigzag nanotubes. [see P. R.…
Microelectromechanical systems, which can be moved or rotated with nanometre precision, already find applications in such fields like radio-frequency electronics, micro-attenuators, sensors and many others. Especially interesting are those…
Enhancing light-matter interactions with photonic structures is critical in classical and quantum nanophotonics. Recently, Moir\'e twisted bilayer optical materials have been proposed as a promising means towards a tunable and controllable…
We report the one-electron spectrum and eigenstates of infinite achiral and chiral $(2m,m)$ carbon nanotubes found by using the analytic solution to the Schr\"odinger equation for the tight-binding H\"uckel-type Hamiltonian. With the help…
Carbon nanotubes have properties depending on the arrangement of carbon atoms on the tube walls, called chirality. Also it has been tried to grow nanotubes of only one chirality for more than a decade it is still not possible today. A…
We report on a model of polymer nanocomposites with fibrous fillers which explicitly considers the microscopic filler features and replicates the composites as random distributions of particles interconnected via electron tunneling. By…
We present a detailed study of the geometry, structure and energetics of carbon nanotube caps. We show that the structure of a cap uniquely determines the chirality of the nanotube that can be attached to it. The structure of the cap is…
We have developed a pair-potential approach for the evaluation of van der Waals interaction between carbon nanotubes in bundles. Starting from a continuum model, we show that the intertube modes range from $5 cm^{-1}$ to $60 cm^{-1}$. Using…
The fracture of carbon nanotubes is studied by atomistic simulations. The fracture behavior is found to be almost independent of the separation energy and to depend primarily on the inflection point in the interatomic potential. The rangle…
