Interaction between concentric Tubes in DWCNTs

چکیده
A detailed investigation of the Raman response of the inner tube radial breathing modes (RBMs) in double-wall carbon nanotubes is reported. It revealed that the number of observed RBMs is two to three times larger than the number of possible tubes in the studied frequency range. This unexpected increase in Raman lines is attributed to a splitting of the inner tube response. It is shown to originate from the possibility that one type of inner tube may form in different types of outer tubes and the fact that the inner tube RBM frequency depends on the diameter of the enclosing tube. Finally, a comparison of the inner tube RBMs and the RBMs of tubes in bundles gave clear evidence that the interaction in a bundle is stronger than the interaction between inner and outer tubes.

Molecular dynamics study of carbon nanotube oscillators revisited.
We performed molecular dynamics simulation of double walled carbon nanotube (DWCNT) oscillators under constant energy and constant temperatures with various commensurations and nanotube lengths. We clarify and resolve questions and differences raised by previous simulation results of similar systems. At constant energy, sustained oscillation is available for a wide range of initial temperatures...
متن کاملTemperature dependence of the optical excitation lifetime and band gap in chirality assigned semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes
The temperature dependence of optical excitation lifetime 1/ and transition energies Eii were measured for bucky papers of single-wall carbon nanotubes SWCNTs and inner tubes in double-wall carbon nanotubes DWCNTs using resonant Raman scattering on the radial breathing mode. The temperature dependence of and Eii is the same for both types of samples and is independent of tube chirality. The dat...
متن کاملMulti-Stable Conductance States in Metallic Double-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Electrical transport properties of individual metallic double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) were measured down to liquid helium temperature, and multi-stable conductance states were found in DWCNTs. At a certain temperature, DWCNTs can switch continuously between two or more electronic states, but below certain temperature, DWCNTs are stable only at one of them. The temperature for switching...
متن کاملRaman spectroscopy of iodine-doped double-walled carbon nanotubes
We present a Raman spectroscopy study of iodine-intercalated (p-type doped) double-walled carbon nanotubes. Double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) are synthesized by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) and characterized by Raman spectroscopy. The assignment of the radial breathing modes and the tangential modes of pristine DWCNTs is done in the framework of the bond polarization theory,...
متن کاملExperimental Study of the Heat Transfer Enhancement in Concentric Tubes With Spherical and Pyramidal Protrusions
In the current research project, the thermal performance of a series of newly designed mixers has been investigated. Each mixer has two concentric cylinders comprising two annular slot flow channels around a solid cylindrical rod at the center. In each mixer, the first cylinder around the central solid rod has either spherical or pyramidal protrusions throughout the outer surface. It has been o...
