Optimization of carbon nanotube ultracapacitor for cell design

Modeling of carbon nanotube ultracapacitor

Modeling of carbon nanotube ultracapacitor (CNU) performance based on simulation of electrolyte ion motion between cathode and anode is described. Using a molecular dynamics (MD) approach, the equilibrium positions of electrode charges interacting through Coulomb potential are determined, which in turn yield the equipotential surface and electric field associated with the capacitor. With an app...

Geometry optimization for carbon nanotube transistors

The performance of carbon nanotube-based transistors is analyzed numerically, employing the non-equilibrium Green’s function formalism. The effect of geometrical parameters on the device performance is investigated. Our results clearly show that device characteristics can be optimized by appropriately selecting geometrical parameters. 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
