متن کاملOptically anisotropic infinite cylinder above an optically anisotropic half space: Dispersion interaction of a single-walled carbon nanotube with a substrate.
A complete form of the van der Waals dispersion interaction between an infinitely long anisotropic semiconducting/insulating thin cylinder and an anisotropic half space is derived for all separations between the cylinder and the half space. The derivation proceeds from the theory of dispersion interactions between two anisotropic infinite half spaces as formulated in Phys. Rev. A 71, 042102 (20...
متن کاملNew Perspectives on van der Waals - London Interactions of Materials. From Planar Interfaces to Carbon Nanotubes
The drive towards nanoscale assembly necessitates an accurate understanding of all the fundamental forces present in a given system to ensure the greatest chance of success. The van der Waals London dispersion (vdW-Ld) interaction is the universal, long range, interaction that is present in all materials systems. However, scientists and engineers often either ignore or crudely approximate the v...
متن کاملChirality-dependent properties of carbon nanotubes: electronic structure, optical dispersion properties, Hamaker coefficients and van der Waals–London dispersion interactions
Optical dispersion spectra at energies up to 30 eV play a vital role in understanding the chiralitydependent van der Waals–London dispersion interactions of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). We use one-electron theory based calculations to obtain the band structures and the frequency dependent dielectric response function from 0–30 eV for 64 SWCNTs differing in radius, electronic structure...
متن کاملTheoretical insights into the encapsulation of anticancer Oxaliplatin drug into single walled carbon nanotubes
The present work was an attempt to evaluate the potentialities of using SWCNTs as nanovectors for drug delivery of anticancer drug Oxaliplatin. First-principles van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF) calculations are used to investigate the incorporation of oxaliplatin inside the typical semiconducting and metallic single wall carbon nanotubes with various diameters (SWCNTs). Adsorption ener...
