Oscillating carbon nanotori along carbon nanotubes
The discovery of carbon nanostructures, such as nanotubes and C60 fullerenes, has given rise to a number of potential nanoscale devices. One such device is the gigahertz oscillator, comprising an inner shell sliding inside an outer shell of a multiwalled carbon nanotube, and which, at least theoretically, generates oscillatory frequencies in the gigahertz range. Following the concept of these g...
متن کاملElectrical conductance of carbon nanotori in contact with single-wall carbon nanotubes
The realization of the potential of carbon nanotori as elements of nanoscale devices based on their recently predicted unusual properties requires a thorough understanding of contacting these nanostructures. We carried out a series of calculations of the electric conductance of carbon nanotori contacted by single-wall carbon nanotubes to shed light on the effects of the geometry as well as the ...
متن کاملColossal paramagnetic moments in metallic carbon nanotori.
Carbon nanostructures with unusually large paramagnetic moments have been discovered in a theoretical study of the electronic and magnetic properties of carbon nanotubes bent into toroids. Specifically, nanotori formed from metallic nanotubes with lambda(F) = 3T, where lambda(F) is the Fermi wavelength and T the translation vector of the nanotube, exhibit giant paramagnetic moments at selected ...
متن کاملA synthetic DNA motor that transports nanoparticles along carbon nanotubes.
Intracellular protein motors have evolved to perform specific tasks critical to the function of cells such as intracellular trafficking and cell division. Kinesin and dynein motors, for example, transport cargoes in living cells by walking along microtubules powered by adenosine triphosphate hydrolysis. These motors can make discrete 8 nm centre-of-mass steps and can travel over 1 µm by changin...
متن کاملCarbon Nanotubes
The Amazing and Versatile Carbon – Chemical basis for life With an atomic number of 6, Carbon is the 4th most abundant element in the Universe by mass after (Hydrogen Helium and Oxygen). It forms more compounds that any other element, with almost 10 million pure organic compounds. Abundance, together with the unique diversity of organic compounds and their unusual polymer forming ability at the...
