Luttinger liquid theory predicts that collective electron excitations due to strong electron-electron interactions in a one-dimensional (1D) system will result in a modification of the collective charge-propagation velocity. By utilizing a circuit model for an individual metallic single-walled carbon nanotube as a nanotransmission line, it has been shown that the frequency-dependent terahertz i...

in the present study, tin-promoted pd/mwnts nanocatalystwas synthesized via polyol technique for application in hydrogenation of high-concentrated acetylene feedstocks. tem images showed a restricted distribution of nanoparticles in the range of 3-5 nm. the results indicated that nanoparticles sizes were resistant to further catalyst deactivation. xrd patterns signified alloying between pd and ...

In this work, nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to investigate uniform liquid argon flow past a carbon nanotube. In the simulation, nanotubes were modeled as rigid cylinders of carbon atoms. Both argon-argon and argon-carbon interactions were calculated based on Lennard-Jones potential. Simulated drag coefficients were compared with (i) published empirical equati...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure. Nanotubes have been synthesized with length-to-diameter ratio of up to 132,000,000 : 1, which is significantly greater than any other material. These cylindrical carbon molecules have novel properties which make them potentially useful in many applications in nanotechnology, electronics, optics, and other fields ...

In this study, the mechanical properties of epoxy nanocomposites with graphene platelets, single-walled carbon nanotubes, and multi-walled carbon nanotube additives were compared at a nanofiller weight fraction of 0.1 +/- 0.002%. The mechanical properties measured were the Young's modulus, ultimate tensile strength, fracture toughness, fracture energy, and the material's resistance to fatigue c...

An important issue in nanopore sensing is to construct stable and versatile sensors that can discriminate analytes with minute differences. Here we report a means of creating nanopores that comprise ultrashort single-walled carbon nanotubes inserted into a lipid bilayer. We investigate the ion transport and DNA translocation through single-walled carbon nanotube nanopores and find that our resu...

The method for the evaluation of the distribution of carbon nanotube sizes from the static adsorption measurements and computer simulation of nitrogen at 77 K is developed. We obtain the condensation/evaporation pressure as a function of pore size of a cylindrical carbon tube using Gauge Cell Monte Carlo Simulation (Gauge Cell MC). To obtain the analytical form of the relationships mentioned ab...
