Quasi-one and two-dimensional transitions of gases adsorbed on nanotube bundles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations have been performed to determine the adsorption behavior of Ar and Kr atoms on the exterior surface of a rope (bundle) consisting of many carbon nanotubes. The computed adsorption isotherms reveal phase transitions associated with the successive creation of quasi-one dimensional lines of atoms near and parallel to the intersection of two adjacent nanotubes.

Condensed phases of gases inside nanotube bundles
An overview is presented of the various phases predicted to occur when gases are absorbed within a bundle of carbon nanotubes. The behavior may be characterized by an effective dimensionality, which depends on the species and the temperature. Small molecules are strongly attracted to the interstitial channels between tubes. There, they undergo transitions between ordered and disordered quasi-on...
متن کاملMany–body interactions among adsorbed atoms and molecules within carbon nanotubes and in free space
Studies of three–dimensional and two–dimensional condensed phases have shown that many– body interactions contribute ∼ 10% to the equations of state of noble gases. This paper assesses the importance of three–body triple dipole interactions for quasi–one–dimensional phases of He, Ne, H2, Ar, Kr and Xe confined within interstitial channels or on the external surfaces of nanotube bundles. We find...

متن کاملOne-dimensional and two-dimensional quantum systems on carbon nanotube bundles.
We report the first measurement of the structure of 4He atoms adsorbed on bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes. Neutron diffraction techniques and nanotube samples closed at the end were used. At low coverage, 4He forms a 1D, single line lattice along the grooves between two nanotubes on the surface of the nanotube bundles. As coverage is increased, additional lines of 1D lattices form alo...
متن کاملOsmotic ensemble methods for predicting adsorption-induced structural transitions in nanoporous materials using molecular simulations.
Osmotic framework adsorbed solution theory is a useful molecular simulation method to predict the evolution of structural transitions upon adsorption of guest molecules in flexible nanoporous solids. One challenge with previous uses of this approach has been the estimation of free energy differences between the solid phases of interest in the absence of adsorbed molecules. Here we demonstrate t...
