Water-flow in carbon nanotubes (CNT's) starkly contradicts classical fluid mechanics, with permeabilities that can exceed no-slip Haagen-Poiseuille predictions by two to five orders of magnitude. Semi-classical molecular dynamics accounts…

The flow of water in carbon nanochannels has defied understanding thus far, with accumulating experimental evidence for ultra-low friction, exceptionally high water flow rates, and curvature-dependent hydrodynamic slippage. These unique…

Interfacial friction in nanofluidic systems can arise from fluctuation-induced coupling between liquid charge fluctuations and the internal excitations of the confining solid. Here, we develop a microscopic theory of exciton-mediated…

A detailed understanding of energy transduction is crucial for achieving precise control of energy flow in complex, integrated systems. In this context, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are intriguing model systems due to their rich,…

A simple model for the friction experienced by the one dimensional water chains that flow through subnanometer diameter carbon nanotubes is studied. The model is based on a lowest order perturbation theory treatment of the friction…

Friction forces are conventionally modeled via semiclassical theories that associate energy dissipation with newtonian motion on corrugated interface potentials. This consolidated approach is challenged at the nanoscale by observation of…

We report a study of the effects of pressure on the diffusivity of water molecules confined in single- wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) with average mean pore diameter of 16 Angstroms. The measurements were carried out using high-resolution…

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate systematically the water permeation properties across the single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) in the presence of the terahertz electric field (TEF). With the TEF normal to the nanotube,…

Water, when confined at the nanoscale acquires extraordinary transport properties. And yet there is no direct experimental evidence of these properties at nanoscale resolution. Here, by using 2D NMR diffusion-relaxation (D-T2) and…

Spontaneous entry of water molecules inside single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) has been confirmed by both simulations and experiments. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we have studied the thermodynamics of filling of a (6,6) carbon…

Friction at water-carbon interfaces remains a major puzzle with theories and simulations unable to explain experimental trends in nanoscale waterflow. A recent theoretical framework -- quantum friction (QF)-- proposes to resolve these…

We study quantum optical properties of the single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) by introducing the effective interaction between the quantized electromagnetic field and the confined electrons in the SWCNT. Our purpose is to explore the…

We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the diffusion of water inside deformed carbon nanotubes, with different degrees of eccentricity at 300K. We found a water structural transition between tubular-like to single-file for the (7,7)…

Narrow carbon nanotubes (CNTs) desalinate water, mimicking water channels of biological membranes, yet the physics behind selectivity, especially, the effect of the membrane embedding CNTs on water and ion transfer, is still unclear. Here,…

We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the diffusion of water inside deformed carbon nanotubes with different degrees of deformation at 300 K. We found that the number of hydrogen bonds that water forms depends on nanotube topology,…

The electronic properties of as-prepared and purified unoriented single-walled carbon nanotube films were studied by transmission measurements over a broad frequency range (far-infrared up to visible) as a function of temperature (15 K -…

The properties of excitons in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), isolated in vacuum or a medium, and their contributions to the optical spectra of nanotubes are studied within the elementary potential model, in which an…

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are promising absorbers and emitters to enable novel photonic and optoelectronic applications but are also known to severely suffer from low optical quantum yields. Here we demonstrate SWCNTs excitons…
