Single - Walled 4 . Single - Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are hollow, long cylinders with extremely large aspect ratios, made of one atomic sheet of carbon atoms in a honeycomb lattice. They possess extraordinary thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties and are considered as one of the most promising nanomaterials for applications and basic research. This chapter describes the structural, electronic, vibra...
متن کاملOn the Stability and Abundance of Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Many nanotechnological applications, using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), are only possible with a uniform product. Thus, direct control over the product during chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of SWNT is desirable, and much effort has been made towards the ultimate goal of chirality-controlled growth of SWNTs. We have used density functional theory (DFT) to compute the stability...
متن کاملCutting single-walled carbon nanotubes.
A two-step process is utilized for cutting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). The first step requires the breakage of carbon-carbon bonds in the lattice while the second step is aimed at etching at these damage sites to create short, cut nanotubes. To achieve monodisperse lengths from any cutting strategy requires control of both steps. Room-temperature piranha and ammonium persulfate solu...
متن کاملEffective Structural Parameters of Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes
A three-dimensional finite element (FE) model for the prediction of mechanical properties of defect-free carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is developed by incorporating the modified Morse potential energy and the universal force field (UFF) with an analytical molecular structural model. The concept of the model is based on the assumption that CNTs, when loaded, behave like space-frame structures. Based o...
متن کاملSymmetry Properties of Single-Walled BC2N Nanotubes
The symmetry properties of the single-walled BC(2)N nanotubes were investigated. All the BC(2)N nanotubes possess nonsymmorphic line groups. In contrast with the carbon and boron nitride nanotubes, armchair and zigzag BC(2)N nanotubes belong to different line groups, depending on the index n (even or odd) and the vector chosen. The number of Raman- active phonon modes is almost twice that of th...
