In order to understand the first stages of the nucleation of carbon nanotubes in catalytic processes, we present a tight-binding Monte Carlo study of the stability and cohesive mechanisms of different carbon structures deposited on nickel…
We report low temperature transport measurements on suspended single walled carbon nanotubes (both individual tubes and ropes). The technique we have developed, where tubes are soldered on low resistive metallic contacts across a slit,…
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…
Persistent currents driven by a static magnetic flux parallel to the carbon nanotube axis are investigated. Owing to the hexagonal symmetry of graphene the Fermi contour expected for a 2D-lattice reduces to two points. However the electron…
We examine bosonic atoms that are confined in a toroidal, quasi-one-dimensional trap, subjected to a random potential. The resulting inhomogeneous atomic density is smoothened for sufficiently strong, repulsive interatomic interactions.…
The phenomenon of stable persistent currents is central to the studies of superfluidity in a range of physical systems. While all of the previous theoretical studies of superfluid flows in annular geometries concentrated on conservative…
A simplified theory of the telescopic oscillations in multiwalled carbon nanotubes is developed. The explicit expressions for the telescopic force constants (longitudinal rigidity) and the frequencies of telescopic oscillations are derived.…
Transport through carbon nanotube (CNT) quantum dots (QDs) in a magnetic field is discussed. The evolution of the system from the ultraviolet to the infrared is analyzed; the strongly correlated (SC) states arising in the infrared are…
Specific topological excitations of energetically stable "core-and-mantle" configurations of trapped two-component immiscible Bose-Einstein condensates are studied numerically within the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations. Non-stationary…
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…
Single-electron transistors embedded in a vibrating nanoresonator such as a doubly-clamped carbon nanotube exhibit effects stemming from the coupling between electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom. In particular, a capacitive…
Suspended single-walled carbon nanotube devices comprised of high quality electrical contacts and two electrostatic gates per device are obtained. Compared to nanotubes pinned on substrates, the suspended devices exhibit little hysteresis…
We calculate the magnetic moment caused by the persistent currents in polygonal carbon nanotube tori by the tight binding model. The polygonal CNT tori are formed by introducing heptagonal and pentagonal defects along the inner hole and…
Nanofluids are suspensions of nanoparticles and fibers which have recently attracted much attention due to their superior thermal properties. Here, nanofluids are studied in the sense of nanofins transversally attached to a surface, so that…
Persistent currents in quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates become chiral in the presence of current-density interactions. This phenomenon is explored in ultracold atoms loaded in a rotating ring geometry, where diverse…
The relaxation of twist in elastic filaments often drives conformational changes. We explore this paradigm using all-atom computations and report the formation of novel supercoiled shapes in individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Decreasing…
We investigate the electronic instabilities in carbon nanotubes of short radius, looking for the breakdown of the Luttinger liquid regime from the singular behavior of the charge stiffnesses at low energies. We show that such a breakdown is…
Carbon nanotubes provide a new class of molecular wires that display new and exciting mesoscopic transport properties. We provide a detailed theoretical description for transport in multi-wall nanotubes, where both disorder and strong…
The dissipative dynamics of two interacting qubits coupled to independent reservoirs at nonzero temperatures is investigated, paying special attention to the entanglement evolution. The counter-rotating terms in the qubit-qubit interaction…
The nucleation of carbon nanotubes on small nickel clusters is studied using a tight binding model coupled to grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. This technique closely follows the conditions of the synthesis of carbon nanotubes by…
