Manipulating and coupling molecule gears is the first step towards realizing molecular-scale mechanical machines. Here, we theoretically investigate the behavior of such gears using molecular dynamics simulations. Within a nearly rigid-body…

Understanding the process of electron tunneling in chirality-induced single-molecule junctions is imperative for the development of nanoscale switching and artificial nanomotors. Based on the combined non-equilibrium Green functions…

Interwall interaction energies of double-walled nanotubes (DWNTs) with long inner and short outer walls are calculated as functions of coordinates describing relative rotation and displacement of the walls using van der Waals corrected…

Lubricants are widely used in macroscopic mechanical systems to reduce friction and wear. However, on the microscopic scale, it is not clear to what extent lubricants are beneficial. Therefore, in this study, we consider two diamond…

We have studied zig-zag boron nitride (BN) nanotubes doped with the Ni hexagonal-closepacked nanowire. The doped BN nanotubes are ferromagnetic metals with substantial magnetism. Some special magnetic properties resulting from the…

Encapsulating graphene in hexagonal Boron Nitride has several advantages: the highest mobilities reported to date are achieved in this way, and precise nanostructuring of graphene becomes feasible through the protective hBN layers.…

Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) are of intense scientific interests due to their unique physiochemical properties and prospective applications in various nanotechnologies. A critical problem hampering the application processing of BNNTs is…

Nanotubes show great promise for miniaturizing advanced technologies. Their exceptional physical properties are intimately related to their morphological and crystal structure. Circumferential faceting of multiwalled nanotubes reinforces…

Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) are one of the most important materials in nanotechnology. In some of their technological applications (electromechanical oscillators and mechanical actuators for artificial muscles, for instance), it is necessary to…

In contrast to silicon-based transistors, single molecule junctions can be gated by simple mechanical means. Specifically, charge can be transferred between the junction's electrodes and its molecular bridge when the interelectrode distance…

Very recently, it was demonstrated explicitly that a zigzag graphene nanoribbon (GNR) exhibits a crossover of conductance from G0 to G0/2 with increasing the length (G0 = 2e2/h is the quantum of conductance) even at room-temperature…

The mechanical properties of the so-called `super' carbon nanotubes (STs) are investigated using classical molecular dynamics simulations. The STs are built from single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) connected by Y-like junctions forming…

The transport properties of finite nanotubes placed in a magnetic field parallel to their axes are investigated. Upon including spin-orbit coupling and curvature effects, two main phenomena are analyzed which crucially depend on the tube's…

We report here the charge transport behavior in graphene nanojunctions in which graphene nanodots, with relatively long relaxation time, are interfaced with ferromagnetic electrodes. Subsequently we explore the effect of substitutional…

We report a novel phenomenon in carbon nanotube (CNT) based devices, the transphonon effects, which resemble the transonic effects in aerodynamics. It is caused by dissipative resonance of nanotube phonons similar to the radial breathing…

One notable manifestation of the peculiar edge-localized states in zigzag graphene nanoribbons (zGNRs) is the p-type (n-type) characteristics of nitrogen (boron) edge-doped GNRs, and such behavior was so far considered to be exclusive for…

Aligned graphene nanoribbon (GNR) arrays were made by unzipping of aligned single-walled and few-walled carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays. Nanotube unzipping was achieved by a polymer-protected Ar plasma etching method, and the resulting…

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),…

The nucleon-nucleon ($NN$) potential is the residual interaction of the strong interaction in the low-energy region and is also the fundamental input to the study of atomic nuclei. Based on the non-perturbative properties of the quantum…
