Gold nanotube: structure and melting
نویسنده
چکیده
In the process of molecular dynamics simulation studies of gold nanowires an interesting structure is discovered. This is a finite double-wall nanowire with a large empty core similar to single-wall and double-wall carbon nanotubes. The structure of the 16−10 gold nanotube is studied at the room temperature. An investigation of the high-temperature stability has also been carried out. An unusual inward evaporation of atoms from cylindrical liquid walls is found at T ≥ 1200 K.

CVD synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes from gold nanoparticle catalysts.
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) possess an appealing array of physical properties which give them great potential for a growing number of technological applications.1,2 Understanding how to control the synthesis of SWNTs is vital in order to deterministically integrate such nanostructures into various technologies. To date, the most versatile techniques for synthesizing SWNTs have been t...
متن کاملMelting and Equilibrium Shape of Icosahedral Gold Nanoparticles
We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the melting of gold icosahedral clusters of a few thousand atoms. We pay particular attention to the behavior of surface atoms, and to the equilibrium shape of the cluster. We find that the surface of the cluster does not pre-melt, but rather remains ordered up to the melting Tm. However the increasing mobility of vertex and edge atoms significantl...
متن کاملStructure formation, melting, and optical properties of goldÕDNA nanocomposites: Effects of relaxation time
We present a model for structure formation, melting, and optical properties of gold/DNA nanocomposites. These composites consist of a collection of gold nanoparticles ~of radius 50 nm or less! which are bound together by links made up of DNA strands. In our structural model, the nanocomposite forms from a series of Monte Carlo steps, each involving reaction-limited cluster-cluster aggregation ~...

The melting of zigzag, armchair and chiral single walled boron nitride nanotubes (SWBNs) investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation based on Tersoff-like many body potential. The MD simulation has been employed in the constant pressure, constant temperature (NPT) ensemble. The temperature and pressure of the system were controlled by Nose-Hoover thermostat and Berendsen barostat, res...
متن کاملHow Do Palladium Complexes Affect on Coil Structure of Human Serum Albumin in the Presence of Carbon Nanotube? A Molecular Dynamics Study
To investigate the interaction and adsorption of drug and carbon nanotube on human serum albumin, three anti-cancer drugs ([Pd(phen)(R-gly)]NO3, R = methyl, propyl and amyl) with different hydrophobic tails and anticancer activities were selected. These drugs have better anti-tumor activity and less side effects than that known cis-platinum drug. Human serum albumin is also ...
