Enhanced Mechanical Stability of Gold Nanotips through Carbon Nanocone Encapsulation
Gold is a noble metal that, in comparison with silver and copper, has the advantage of corrosion resistance. Despite its high conductivity, chemical stability and biocompatibility, gold exhibits high plasticity, which limits its applications in some nanodevices. Here, we report an experimental and theoretical study on how to attain enhanced mechanical stability of gold nanotips. The gold tips w...
متن کاملTATB Interaction with Carbon Nanocone and Nanocone Sheet: A Comprehensive Computational Study
In this study 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB) interaction with carbon nanocone(NC) and nanocone Sheet (NCS) was evaluated by density functional theory. The calculated thermodynamic parameters including Gibbs free energy changes and Enthalpy alterations showed the interaction of TATB with the both nanostructures are exothermic, spontaneous, experimentally possible ...
متن کاملCarbon and BN nanocones as nano carriers for 5-Fluorouracil, a DFT study
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is an anticancer drug. In this work, we have investigated the electronic properties and topological analysis of interaction between 5-FU and carbon nanocone and BN nanocone. The structural stability of isomer complexes of 5-FU with carbon nanocone and BN nanocone have been investigated for two position of interactions. We have found that the most stable complexes are forme...

متن کاملCO oxidation on electrically charged gold nanotips.
We report a study of the oxidation of CO on a gold nanotip in the presence of high electrostatic fields. With the binding energies obtained using density functional theory as a function of the electric field, a simple field-dependent kinetic model based on the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism is set up. We show that the dissociative adsorption of oxygen on gold happens only below a negative criti...
