Gas phase sorting of fullerenes, polypeptides and carbon nanotubes.

چکیده
We discuss the Stark deflectometry of micro-modulated molecular beams for the enrichment of biomolecular isomers as well as single-wall carbon nanotubes, and we demonstrate the working principle of this idea with fullerenes. The sorting is based on the species-dependent susceptibility-to-mass ratio χ/m. The device is compatible with a high molecular throughput, and the spatial micro-modulation of the beam permits one to obtain a fine spatial resolution and a high sorting sensitivity.

The effects of suspending medium on dielectrophoretic systems for separating and sorting carbon nanotubes
The separation of two different types of multi-walled carbon nanotubes is studied in a dielectrophoresis-based microchannel system in seven different solvents as the suspending medium. A simple model was developed to predict the behavior of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes in the above mentioned system. Then, the equations of motion for the multi-walled carbon nanotubes in that system were in...
متن کاملPurification of single-walled carbon nanotubes.
The discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) created much excitement and stimulated extensive research into the properties of nanometer-scale cylindrical networks. From then on, various methods for the synthesis and characterization of aligned CNTs-both single-walled (SWCNTs) and multi-walled (MWCNTs) by different methods have been hotly pursued. Unfortunately, most methods currently in use produce...
متن کاملTowards All Carbon Solar Cells
Herein we describe our work toward an efficient solar cell made in its entirety with carbon based materials. The different arrangements and combinations in which carbon can exist produce a wide variety of compounds that have unique physical, chemical and electrical properties. Some of these allotropes behave as conductors while others are classified as semiconducting. Our efforts focus on takin...
متن کاملCollective excitations of multishell carbon microstructures: Multishell fullerenes and coaxial nanotubes.
s and p plasmons in coaxial carbon nanotubes and multishell fullerenes are modeled in analogy with coupled collective excitations in finite, layered, two-dimensional-electron-gas, planar semiconductor superlattices. The curvature of the surface of these complex carbon clusters plays an important role in shaping the dimensionality ~one dimensional, two dimensional, or three dimensional! of the p...
متن کاملAtomistic modeling of solubilization of carbon nanotubes by non-covalent functionalization with poly(p-phenylenevinylene- co-2,5-dioctoxy-m-phenylenevinylene)
Molecular dynamics simulations are carried out to analyze the process of solubilization of the armchair, metallic (10,10) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) functionalized with poly(p-phenylenevinylene-co-2,5-dioctoxy-m-phenylenevinylene) (PmPV-DOctOPV) polymer in toluene. Interand intra-molecular atomic interactions in the SWCNT þ PmPV-DOctOPV þ toluene system are represented using conden...
