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…

Recently, TersoffCG, a coarse grain potential for graphene based on Tersoff potential, has been developed. In this work, we explore this potential, applying it to the case study of a single wall carbon nanotube. We performed a series of…

We have observed the transversal vibration mode of suspended carbon nanotubes at millikelvin temperatures by measuring the single-electron tunneling current. The suspended nanotubes are actuated contact-free by the radio frequency electric…

Molecular dynamics simulations based on the adaptive intermolecular reactive empirical bond order (AIREBO) were performed to probe hydrostatic pressure induced collapse of single-walled and double-walled carbon nanotubes. It was unveiled…

Spatiotemporal dynamics of excitons in isolated semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes are studied using transient absorption microscopy. Differential reflection and transmission of an 810-nm probe pulse after excitation by a 750-nm…

We introduce a concise formalism to characterize nanometer-sized tori based on carbon nanotubes and to determine their stability by combining {\em ab initio} density functional calculations with a continuum elasticity theory approach that…

The electronic density of states of atomically resolved single-walled carbon nanotubes have been investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy. Peaks in the density of states due to the one-dimensional nanotube band structure have been…

Recently Zheng and Jiang [PRL 88, 045503 (2002)], based on static models, have proposed that multiwalled carbon nanotubes could be the basis for a new generation of nanooscilators in the several gigahertz range. In this work we present the…

The fabrication of metallic single-walled carbon nanotube electrodes separated by gaps of typically 20nm width by electron-beam-induced oxidation is studied within an active device configuration. The tube conductance is measured…

A simple macroscopic continuum elasticity theory (CET) is used to calculate the structure relaxation of single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT), an analytic formula is obtained. We also expand an atomic scale three-parameter empirical model [ T.…

A single-walled carbon nanotube presents a seamless cylindrical graphene surface and is thus an ideal adsorption substrate for investigating the physics of atoms and molecules in two dimensions and approaching the one-dimensional limit.…

Carbon nanotubes tend to collapse when their diameters exceed a certain threshold, or when a sufficiently large external pressure is applied on their walls. Their radial stability of tubes has been studied in each of these cases, however a…

The electronic and transport properties of (10, 0) single-walled carbon nanotube are studied by performing the first-principles calculations and semi-classical Boltzmann theory. It is found that the (10, 0) tube exhibits considerably large…

We have contacted single-walled carbon nanotubes after aligning the tubes by the use of surface acoustic waves. The acoustoelectric current has been measured at 4.2 K and a probing of the low-dimensional electronic states by the surface…

Nonchiral single wall carbon nanotubes with an "armchair" wrapping are theoretically predicted to be conducting, and high purity samples consisting predominantly of these tubes exhibit metallic behavior with an intrinsic resistivity which…

Towards the development of a useful mechanism for hydrogen storage, we have studied the hydrogenation of single-walled carbon nanotubes with atomic hydrogen using core-level photoelectron spectroscopy and x-ray absorption spectroscopy. We…

The pressure response of double-wall carbon nanotubes has been investigated by means of Raman spectroscopy up to 10 GPa. The intensity of the radial breathing modes of the outer tubes decreases rapidly but remain observable up to 9 GPa,…

We demonstrate sensitive and fast electrical measurements of a carbon nanotube mechanical resonator. The nanotube is configured as a single-electron transistor, whose conductance is a sensitive transducer for its own displacement. Using an…
