Chiral single-wall gold nanotubes.
Based on first-principles calculations we show that gold atoms can form both freestanding and tip-suspended chiral single-wall nanotubes composed of helical atomic strands. The freestanding, infinite (5,5) tube is found to be energetically the most favorable. While energetically less favorable, the experimentally observed (5,3) tube stretching between two tips corresponds to a local minimum in ...
متن کاملPhonon Dispersion in Chiral Single-wall Carbon Nanotubes
The method to obtain phonon dispersion of achiral single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) from 6× 6 matrix proposed by Mahan and Jeon has been extended to chiral SWNTs. The number of calculated phonon modes of a chiral SWNT (10, 1) is much larger than that of a zigzag one (10, 0) because the number of atoms in the translational unit cell of chiral SWNT is larger than that of an achiral one even th...
متن کاملUltralong single-wall carbon nanotubes.
Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes in 1991 by Iijima, there has been great interest in creating long, continuous nanotubes for applications where their properties coupled with extended lengths will enable new technology developments. For example, ultralong nanotubes can be spun into fibres that are more than an order of magnitude stronger than any current structural material, allowing revo...
متن کاملDirect Electrochemistry of Catalase at a Gold Electrode Modified with Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes
The direct electrochemistry of catalase (Ct) was accomplished at a gold electrode modified with single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). A pair of well-defined redox peaks was obtained for Ct with the reduction peak potential at 0.414 Vand a peak potential separation of 32 mVat pH 5.9. Both reflectance FT-IR spectra and the dependence of the reduction peak current on the scan rate revealed that Ct...
متن کاملDirect electrochemistry of xanthine oxidase at a gold electrode modified with single-wall carbon nanotubes.
The direct electrochemistry of xanthine oxidase (XOD) was accomplished at a gold electrode modified with single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). A pair of well-defined redox peaks was obtained for XOD with the reduction peak potential at -0.478 V and a peak potential separation of 28 mV at pH 7.0. Both FT-IR spectra and the dependence of the reduction peak current on the scan rate revealed that X...
