The essential role of visualization for modeling nanotubes and nanodiamond
نویسندگان
چکیده
Visualization techniques to help understand the structure of carbon and its allotropes have been developed and applied to atomistic simulation projects which model different carbon systems on the nanoscale. Examples from ion implantation in diamond, the diffusion of hydrocarbons in nanotubes and the creation of nanodiamond from amorphous carbon under pressure are given.

Visualization techniques for modelling carbon allotropes
Carbon takes many different forms, each with its own electronic structure and has a fantastic range of properties. As well as graphite/diamond, a hexagonal diamond called londsdaleite, and amorphous carbons of sp2, sp3 and mixed natures there are all the fullerenes, graphene, nanotubes etc. Fortunately, their different electronic structures take distinct geometrical forms, so that deducing the ...
متن کاملSimulation and visualization of nanodiamond and nanographite
Hydrogen plays a significant role in the formation of nanodiamond, terminating diamond surfaces and removing sp bonded atoms from the surface during CVD diamond growth. However, there are only a few calculations that simulate nanodiamond development directly, and even less that do so in a hydrogen-containing environment. Recently, nanoscale graphitic layers emebedded in amorphous carbon were al...
متن کاملExtraordinary synergy in the mechanical properties of polymer matrix composites reinforced with 2 nanocarbons.
One of the applications of nanomaterials is as reinforcements in composites, wherein small additions of nanomaterials lead to large enhancements in mechanical properties. There have been extensive studies in the literature on composites where a polymer matrix is reinforced by a single nanomaterial such as carbon nanotubes. In this article, we examine the significant synergistic effects observed...
متن کاملInelastic Continuum Modeling of Carbon Nanotube,s Behavior Using Finite Element Method
This paper describes a continuum model for analyzing the inelastic behavior of a single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) in different loading conditions. Because of limitations in using molecular dynamics (and other atomic methods) to model the failure load of the SWCNT, continuum mechanics methods are considered in this paper. Based on some experimental and theoretical results, an elasto-plastic...
متن کاملInvestigation of Vacancy Defects on the Young’s Modulus of Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Composites in Axial Direction via a Multiscale Modeling Approach
In this article, the influence of various vacancy defects on the Young’s modulus of carbon nanotube (CNT) - reinforcement polymer composite in the axial direction is investigated via a structural model in ANSYS software. Their high strength can be affected by the presence of defects in the nanotubes used as reinforcements in practical nanocomposites. Molecular structural mechanics (MSM)/finite ...
