First-principles study of Li-intercalated carbon nanotube ropes
We studied Li-intercalated carbon nanotube ropes by first-principles methods. Results show charge transfer between Li and C and small structural deformation due to intercalation. Both the interior of the nanotube and the interstitial space are susceptible for intercalation. The Li intercalation potential of a single-walled nanotube rope is comparable to that of graphite and almost independent o...
متن کاملLimits of mechanical energy storage and structural changes in twisted carbon nanotube ropes
Arrays of twisted carbon nanotubes and nanotube ropes are equivalent to a torsional spring capable of storing energy. The advantage of carbon nanotubes over a twisted rubber band, which is used to store energy in popular toys, is their unprecedented toughness. Using ab initio and parametrized density functional calculations, we determine the elastic range and energy storage capacity of twisted ...
متن کاملAtomic arrangement of iodine atoms inside single-walled carbon nanotubes
We report atomic resolution Z-contrast scanning transmission electron microscopy images that reveal the incorporation of I atoms in the form of helical chains inside single-walled carbon nanotubes. Density functional calculations and topological considerations provide a consistent interpretation of the experimental data. Charge transfer between the nanotube walls and the I chains is associated ...
متن کاملAccelerating water transport through a charged SWCNT: a molecular dynamics simulation.
The properties of a nanotube, such as the hydrophobicity and charge of the surface, can significantly affect water transport behavior. However, our knowledge of the effects of charge density, dipole orientation, frequency of flipping, and movement behavior on water flow through carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is far from adequate. This study is aimed at gaining insight into the transport of single-file...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Reversible Sequential Circuits Based on Carbon NanoTube Field Effect Transistors (CNTFETs)
This study presents the importance of reversible logic in designing of high performance and low power consumption digital circuits. In our research, the various forms of sequential reversible circuits such as D, T, SR and JK flip-flops are investigated based on carbon nanotube field-effect transistors. All reversible flip-flops are simulated in two voltages, 0.3 and 0.5 Volt. Our results show t...
