Thermal conductivity of a s10,10d carbon nanotube filled with C60 fullerenes (or a peapod) is computed using direct molecular-dynamics simulations with the Tersoff-Brenner potential for C-C bonding interactions and the van der Waals potential for nonbonding interactions. The temperature-dependent thermal conductivity of the peapod, while showing qualitatively similar behavior to that of an unfi...

Glutamate-induced neurotoxicity plays an important role in neurological and psychiatric diseases. Thus, much attention has been given to thepotential neuroprotective role of glutamate receptor antagonists, especially to those acting on the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) subtype.However, in addition to their neuroprotective potential, these compounds have also neurotoxic and psychotogenic p...

Several heat transfer problems related to single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are considered using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The Brenner potential [1] with the simplified form [2] is employed as the potential function between carbon and carbon within a nanotube. MD simulations of thermal conductivity along a nanotube, isotope effect in longitudinal thermal conductivity, and therma...
