Patching and tearing single-wall carbon-nanotube ropes into multiwall carbon nanotubes.
Bundles of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) coalesce forming multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), containing from two to six nested tubes, under thermal treatment at high temperatures [(2200-2400) degrees C]. This structural transformation is confirmed by extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The simulations suggest a "patching-and-tearing" mechanism for the single-wall-to-multiwa...
متن کاملElectronic structure of single-wall, multiwall, and filled carbon nanotubes
We determine the electronic structure of single-wall, multiwall, and filled carbon nanotubes using the local-density-functional formalism. In order to handle these extremely inhomogeneous systems of nested graphene cylinders with 10–10 valence electrons, we adopt a technique that discretizes the eigenvalue problem on a grid and yields simultaneously all occupied and unoccupied states. We apply ...

متن کاملSuppression of tunneling into multiwall carbon nanotubes.
We have studied tunneling of electrons into multiwall carbon nanotubes (NTs) in NT-gold and NT-NT junctions, the latter created by atomic force microscope manipulation. The tunneling conductance goes to zero as the energy (temperature and bias) is reduced, and the functional form is consistent with a power law. The exponents depend upon sample geometry. The relationship between these results an...
متن کاملSingle-wall Carbon Nanotubes: Quantum Carbon Wires
Today’s business environment is causing utilities to examine methods to cut costs and to maximize revenues. Development of a comprehensive program for marketing and utilization* of coal combustion by-products (CCBPs) by a utility can generate additional revenue streams; reduce operating costs at plants; and defer capital costs of developing new waste disposal capacity. These factors can be opti...
