Structure and Applications of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs) Synthesized Using the CoMoCAT Method
نویسنده
چکیده
The unique properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes are a direct result of their distinctive structure, which is composed of C-C bonds more closely related to those in graphite than to those in diamond. That is, while diamond has a coordination number of four with sp hybridization, graphite involves three-coordinated carbons, in which three electrons are in sp hybridization and one is delocalized. Fullerenes and nanotubes also have carbon bonds with sp hybridization such as graphite, but unlike the graphite structure, which is made up of flat planar honeycomb, the structures of fullerenes and nanotubes involve a high degree of curvature.

The interaction of biomolecules with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has generated a great deal ofinterest in the past few years. The interaction between B-form single-strand DNA (ssDNA) andsingle-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is a subject of intense current interest; however thereare a relatively small number of papers in the literature dealing with interaction of DNA andSWCNTs. In this work we inv...
متن کاملNonlocal Flügge shell model for the axial buckling of single-walled Carbon nanotubes: An analytical approach
In this paper, the stability characteristics of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) under the action of axial load are investigated. To this end, a nonlocal Flügge shell model is developed to accommodate the small length scale effects. The analytical Rayleigh-Ritz method with beam functions is applied to the variational statement derived from the Flügge-type buckling equations. Molecular dy...
