We introduce intertube interactions of a cantilevered triple-walled carbon-nanotube (TWCNT) resonators via classical molecular dynamics simulations. The fundamental frequencies of TWCNT resonators were less than those of singleand double-walled carbon nanotubes of a given diameter because of the increasing intertube disturbance. Our results imply that for a nanotube with a given diameter, the f...

The spectral position of light emission from an individual carbon nanotube is shown to depend on the location of the nanotube within the focal spot, while no such effect is present for macroscopic emitters. In addition, in contrast to macroscopic emitters, the measured line width from the nanotube emitter is independent of spectrometer entrance slit width. The effects are general for any nanosc...

In this paper, finite element method is used to obtain thermal conductivity coefficients of single-walled carbon nanotube reinforced polypropylene. For this purpose, the two-dimensional representative volume elements are modeled. The effect of different parameters such as nanotube dispersion pattern, nanotube volume percentage in polymer matrix, interphase thickness between nanotube and surroun...

The molecular engineering of an electrode surface is of paramount importance for the development of electrochemical devices with region-specific electron-transfer capabilities. As they have a unique one-dimensional molecular geometry and excellent electronic properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been widely used as functional electrodes in various electrochemical systems. Indeed, carbon nano...

In this paper, the transverse vibration of a triple-walled carbon nanotube (TWCNT) conveying fluid flow is studied based on the strain/inertia gradient theory with van der Waals interaction taken into consideration. The nanotube is modelled using Euler-Bernoulli beam model and the Galerkin’s method is employed to obtain the CNT complex valued Eigen-frequencies. The effects of the fluid flow tho...

hydrogel nanocomposites based on alginate polysaccharide were prepared by graft copolymerization of acrylamide and itaconic acid in the presence of carbon nanotube, using methylene bisacrylamide and ammonium persulfate as crosslinker and initiator, respectively. the synthesized samples were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy. the ...

Multiscale simulation approaches are needed in order to address scientific and technological questions in the rapidly developing field of carbon nanotube electronics. In this paper, we describe an effort underway to develop a comprehensive capability for multiscale simulation of carbon nanotube electronics. We focus in this paper on one element of that hierarchy, the simulation of ballistic CNT...

Despite a large steric bulk of C(60), a molecular graphene with a covalently linked C(60) pendant [hexabenzocoronene (HBC)-C(60); 1] self-assembles into a coaxial nanotube whose wall consists of a graphite-like pi-stacked HBC array, whereas the nanotube surface is fully covered by a molecular layer of clustering C(60). Because of this explicit coaxial configuration, the nanotube exhibits an amb...

With the highly competitive development of communication technologies, modern information manufactures place high importance on the ability to control the transmitted signal using easy miniaturization materials. A controlled and miniaturized optical information device is, therefore, vital for researchers in information and communication fields. Here we propose a controlled signal transport in a...
