Radial elasticity of multiwalled carbon nanotubes.
We report an experimental and a theoretical study of the radial elasticity of multiwalled carbon nanotubes as a function of external radius. We use atomic force microscopy and apply small indentation amplitudes in order to stay in the linear elasticity regime. The number of layers for a given tube radius is inferred from transmission electron microscopy, revealing constant ratios of external to...
متن کاملUniform radial expansion/contraction of carbon nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes have very high potential for applications in nanoelectromechanical devices, nano-optomechanical systems and nanocomposites. However, their full exploitation depends upon knowledge of their mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. Several analytical, experimental, molecular mechanics (MM) and molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to study their deformations un...
متن کامل4 Radial solitons in armchair carbon nanotubes
Radial solitons are investigated in armchair carbon nanotubes using a generalized Lennard-Jones potential. The radial solitons are found in terms of moving kink defects whose velocity obeys a dispersion relation. Effects of lattice discreteness on the shape of kink defects are examined by estimating the Peierls stress. Results suggest that the typical size for an unpinned kink phase is of the o...
متن کاملSubbands in Carbon Nanotubes under Radial Deformation
Carbon nanotubes, which consist of only carbon atoms, were first discovered by Iijima [1] and can be thought of as a single layer of graphite that is wrapped into a cylinder. The cylindrical nanotubes are very stable and are regarded as the strongest fibers ever; nanotubes are extremely rigid to distortions along the tube axis whereas they are very flexible to those perpendicular to the axis [2...
متن کاملinvestigation of the electronic properties of carbon and iii-v nanotubes
boron nitride semiconducting zigzag swcnt, $b_{cb}$$n_{cn}$$c_{1-cb-cn}$, as a potential candidate for making nanoelectronic devices was examined. in contrast to the previous dft calculations, wherein just one boron and nitrogen doping configuration have been considered, here for the average over all possible configurations, density of states (dos) was calculated in terms of boron and nitrogen ...
