Transport of a Liquid Water-Methanol Mixture in a Single Wall Carbon Nanotube
In this work, a molecular dynamics simulation of the transport of water - methanol mixture through the single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) is reported. Methanol and water are selected as fluid molecules since water represents a strongly polar molecule while methanol is as an intermediate between polar and strongly polar molecules. Some physical properties of the methanol-water mixture such as r...
متن کاملBallistic switching and rectification in single wall carbon nanotube Y junctions
Transport properties of various semiconducting zig-zag carbon nanotube Y junctions are studied for the investigations of rectification and switching. Our results indicate that such junctions, when symmetric, can support both ballistic rectification and/or the ballistic switching operating modes. Although structural symmetry of the Y junction is found to be a necessary condition for rectificatio...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Simulation of Water in Single WallCarbon Nanotube
The overall aim of this study is to calculate some water properties in the single wall carbon naotubes (SWCNT) and compare them to the bulk water properties to investigate the deviation of water properties inside the SWCNT from those in the bulk. Here some physical and transport properties of water molecules in the single wall carbon nanotube were reported by performing molecular dynamics (MD) ...
متن کاملRectification properties of carbon nanotube "Y-junctions".
Quantum conductivity of single-wall carbon nanotube Y-junctions is calculated. The current versus voltage characteristics of these junctions show asymmetry and rectification, in agreement with recent experimental results. Furthermore, rectification is found to be independent of the angle between the branches of these junctions, indicating this to be an intrinsic property of symmetric Y-junction...
متن کاملCarbon Nanotube Structures: Y-Junctions and Nanorings
The possibility of coupling two Y-junctions of carbon nanotubes, forming a type of nanotube ring is addressed here. Recent experimental evidences of growing carbon nanotube structures forming basically Y-kind junctions give support to this theoretical proposition. A single-band tight-binding Hamiltonian is considered and local electronic properties are investigated via the Green function formal...
متن کاملAb Initio Study of Chirality Effects Onphonon Spectra, Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Nearly Samediameter Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes
In this paper, we have used density functional perturbation theory (DFPT) and Pseudo-potential method to calculate the phonon spectrum, phonon density of states (DOS), specific heat capacity and mechanical properties of (5,5) armchair and (9,0) zigzag Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs). Our calculations show that Young’s modulusfor (5,5) and (9,0) nanotubesare higher than 1TPa. We have also ...
