Grooving the carbon nanotube oscillators

Grooving the carbon nanotube oscillators

Using microcanonical molecular dynamics, we investigate effects of single defects on the performance of a nanoscale oscillator composed of coaxial double-walled carbon nanotubes. It is found that at low temperatures a single defect placed on the outer nanotube can significantly reduces axial oscilla...

Grooving the carbon nanotube oscillators
description Using microcanonical molecular dynamics, we investigate effects of single defects on the performance of a nanoscale oscillator composed of coaxial double-walled carbon nanotubes. It is found that at low temperatures a single defect placed on the outer nanotube can significantly reduces axial oscillation energy leakage by impeding intertube rotational modes, and therefore mitigates the frictional effects between sliding nanotubes.
