Data from recent laser-shock experiments, density-functional theory (DFT) with molecular-dynamics (MD), and path-integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) simulations on carbon are compared with predictions from the neutral-pseudo-atom (NPA)+…
Double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) with high graphitization have been synthesized by hydrogen arc discharge. The obtained DWCNTs have a narrow distribution of diameters of both the inner and outer tubes, and more than half of the…
The hollow inside of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) provides a unique degree of freedom to investigate chemical reactions inside this confined environment and to study the tube properties. It is reviewed herein, how encapsulating…
An investigation concerning the tautness of suspended carbon nanotubes (CNTs), grown using the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method is presented. The suspended nanotubes were analyzed with both a transmission electron microscope (TEM),…
Interstellar carbonaceous dust is mainly formed in the innermost regions of circumstellar envelopes around carbon-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. In these highly chemically stratified regions, atomic and diatomic carbon, along…
Nitrogen, the most abundant element in Earth's atmosphere, exists as a diatomic gas under standard temperature and pressure. In the two-dimensional (2D) limit, atomically thin nitrogen, termed nitrogene, has been theoretically predicted to…
The present communication highlights that ac conductivity measurement of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs)-polymer composites is a very promising characterizing tool for qualifying any crude MWNT-sample synthesized by electric arc.…
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…
Carbon fiber and graphene-based nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and defective structures have extraordinary potential as strong and lightweight materials. A longstanding bottleneck has been lack of understanding and…
The creation of multilayer graphene (Gr), while preserving the brilliant properties of monolayer Gr derived from its unique band structure, can expand the application field of Gr to the macroscale. However, the energy-favorable AB stacking…
Using first principles calculations, we model the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of carbon nanotubes (CNT) on nanoparticles of late transition (Ni, Pd, Pt) and coinage (Cu, Ag, Au) metals. The process is analyzed in terms of the…
Generation of ultra high frequency acoustic waves in water is key to nano resolution sensing, acoustic imaging and theranostics. In this context water immersed carbon nanotubes (CNTs) may act as an ideal optoacoustic source, due to their…
Understanding the interaction between hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and silicate surfaces is crucial for elucidating the prebiotic processes occurring on interstellar grain cores, as well as in cometary and meteoritic matrices. In this study, we…
We demonstrate a class of model nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS) based on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) which has longer inner cores coaxially oscillating inside their respective shorter outer shell holders and can operate at…
We investigate quantum transport in aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers fabricated via solution spinning, focusing on the roles of structural dimensionality and quantum interference effects. The fibers exhibit metallic behavior at high…
Hybrid carbon nanotube-fullerene architectures provide a controllable platform for studying irreversibility and information flow in structured quantum environments. We analyze entropy generation in a system where paramagnetic endohedral…
Newly discovered carbon nanotubes provide an environment in which small atoms move relatively freely. An assembly of such atoms provides a realization of a quasi-one dimensional system which is an ideal testing ground for concepts and…
Ultraviolet (UV) processing in the insterstellar medium (ISM) induces the dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons. Aliphatics, including alkanes, are present in different interstellar environments, being prevalently formed in evolved stars; thus,…
The field emission properties of ion irradiated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and doublewalled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) have been studied. The carbon nanotubes synthesized by a chemical vapor deposition method were irradiated by…
We report the detection of large hydrocarbon cycles toward several cold dense clouds. We observed four sources (L1495B, Lupus-1A, L483, and L1527) in the Q band (31-50 GHz) using the Yebes 40m radiotelescope. Using the line stack technique,…
