A Molecular Motor Constructed from a Double-Walled Carbon Nanotube Driven by Axially Varying Voltage
A new molecular motor is conceptually constructed from a doublewalled carbon nanotube (DWNT) consisting of a long inner singlewalled carbon nanotube (SWNT) and a short outer SWNT with different chirality. The interaction between inner and outer tubes is the sum of the Lennard-Jones potentials between carbon atoms in inner tube and those in outer one. Within the framework of SmoluchowskiFeynman ...
متن کاملSudden stoppage of rotor in a thermally driven rotary motor made from double-walled carbon nanotubes.
In a thermally driven rotary motor made from double-walled carbon nanotubes, the rotor (inner tube) can be actuated to rotate within the stator (outer tube) when the environmental temperature is high enough. A sudden stoppage of the rotor can occur when the inner tube has been actuated to rotate at a stable high speed. To find the mechanisms of such sudden stoppages, eight motor models with the...
متن کاملWater transport inside a single-walled carbon nanotube driven by a temperature gradient.
In this work, by means of molecular dynamics simulations, we consider the mass transport of a water cluster inside a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) with a diameter of about 1.4 nm. The influence of the non-equilibrium thermal environment on the confined water cluster has been investigated by imposing a longitudinal temperature gradient on the SWNT. It is demonstrated that the water cluste...
متن کاملMolecular motor-powered shuttles along multi-walled carbon nanotube tracks.
As a complementary tool to nanofluidics, biomolecular-based transport is envisioned for nanotechnological devices. We report a new method for guiding microtubule shuttles on multi-walled carbon nanotube tracks, aligned by dielectrophoresis on a functionalized surface. In the absence of electric field and in fluid flow, alignment is maintained. The directed translocation of kinesin propelled mic...
