Crystalline Ropes of Metallic Carbon Nanotubes
Fullerene single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs) were produced in yields of more than 70 percent by condensation of a laser-vaporized carbon-nickel-cobalt mixture at 1200°C. X-ray diffra...
Energetics, structure, mechanical and vibrational properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes
In this paper, we present extensive molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics studies on the energy, structure, mechanical and vibrational properties of single-wall carbon nano...
Superconductivity in 4 Angstrom Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Investigation of the magnetic and transport properties of single-walled small-diameter carbon nanotubes embedded in a zeolite matrix revealed that at temperatures below 20 kelvi...
Carbon Nanotubes: Synthesis, Integration, and Properties
Synthesis of carbon nanotubes by chemical vapor deposition over patterned catalyst arrays leads to nanotubes grown from specific sites on surfaces. The growth directions of the ...
Load transfer and deformation mechanisms in carbon nanotube-polystyrene composites
Multiwall carbon nanotubes have been dispersed homogeneously throughout polystyrene matrices by a simple solution-evaporation method without destroying the integrity of the nano...
