Optical properties of carbon nanotubes under axial strain.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A review is given of Raman spectroscopy of carbon nanotubes under axial strain. Carbon nanotubes possess a high Young's modulus (1 TPa) and breaking strains of 5-15%. Resonance Raman spectroscopy reveals changes in the electronic energies and lattice structure of nanotubes under applied strain. Studies performed on composite materials, where nanotubes have been added to increase the material's strength, are reviewed. Measurements of individual nanotubes under strain are also presented. Emphasis is given to the important new physics revealed by observing the strain-induced changes in the Raman spectra of individual nanotubes. A brief review of theoretical calculations performed on nanotubes under strain is also presented. The implications for using carbon nanotubes as a high strength material and as a strain sensitive material are indicated.

Electronic and Optical Properties of AlN Nanosheet Under Uni-axial Strain
We have investigated the electronic and optical properties of AlN hexagonal nanosheets under different kinds of strains, using the band structure results obtained through the full potential linearized augmented plane wave method within the density functional theory. The results show that 10% uniaxial strain along the zig-zag direction induces an indirect to direct band-gap transition. Th...

This paper deals with the calculation of the elastic properties for single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) under axial deformation and hydrostatic pressure using the atomistic-based continuum approach and the deformation mapping technique. A hyperelastic model based on the higher-order Cauchy-Born (HCB) rule being applicable at finite strains and accounting for the chirality and material nonli...
متن کاملMetallic–semiconducting transition of single-walled carbon nanotubes under high axial strain
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been attracting attention because of their characteristic mechanical and electronic properties. It has been pointed out that a single-walled CNT can stretch in the axial direction at 30% strain without any bonds breaking. Therefore, it is of interest to investigate electronic properties of CNTs under high axial strain. In this study, we investigate the change in ele...

The dynamic instability of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNT) and triple-walled carbon nanotubes (TWCNT) embedded in an elastic medium under combined static and periodic axial loads are investigated using Floquet–Lyapunov theory. An elastic multiple-beam model is utilized where the nested slender nanotubes are coupled with each other through the van d...

In this talk, we describe recent experimental investigations of optical spectroscopy at the level of an individual nanotube. The principal experimental method has been Rayleigh scattering (elastic scattering) spectroscopy, an approach suitable for probing both semiconducting and metallic nanotubes. Recent measurements include a direct determination of the correlation between optical spectra and...
