The oscillatory damped behaviour of incommensurate double-walled carbon nanotubes.
The mechanical properties of sliding carbon nanotubes have been investigated by classical molecular dynamics simulations in the canonical ensemble. In particular we have studied damped oscillations in the separation between the centres of mass of the inner and outer tubes of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCN). Incommensurate DWCNs forming (7, 0)@(9, 9) structures were simulated for systems a...
متن کاملCharge transport through one-dimensional Moiré crystals
Moiré superlattices were generated in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals heterostructures and have revealed intriguing electronic structures. The appearance of mini-Dirac cones within the conduction and valence bands of graphene is one of the most striking among the new quantum features. A Moiré superstructure emerges when at least two periodic sub-structures superimpose. 2D Moiré patterns have...
متن کاملOne-dimensional Crystals inside Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes: Growth, Structure and Electronic Properties
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) discovered in 1993 are currently among the most exciting and promising nanostructures (Bethune et al., 1993; Iijima & Ichihashi, 1993). They arouse huge interest due to their unique atomic structure, outstanding chemical and electronic properties (thermal and electric conductivity), as well as mechanical characteristics (high values of Young's modulus, ten...
متن کاملOne-dimensional transport in bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes
We report measurements of the temperature and gate voltage dependence for individual bundles (ropes) of single-walled nanotubes. When the conductance is less than about e/h at room temperature, it is found to decrease as an approximate power law of temperature down to the region where Coulomb blockade sets in. The power-law exponents are consistent with those expected for electron tunneling int...
متن کاملVan derWaals-coupled electronic states in incommensurate double-walled carbon nanotubes
Non-commensurate two-dimensional materials such as a twisted graphene bilayer or graphene on boron nitride, consisting of components that have no finite common unit cell, exhibit emerging moiré physics such as novel Van Hove singularities1–3, Fermi velocity renormalization4,5, mini Dirac points6 and Hofstadter butterflies7–11. Here we use double-walled carbonnanotubes as amodel system for probi...
