Energy dissipation mechanisms in carbon nanotube oscillators

Energy transfer from the translational degrees of freedom to phonon modes is studied for isolated systems of two coaxial carbon nanotubes, which may serve as a nearly frictionless nano-oscillator. It is found that for oscillators with short nanotubes (less than 30 Å) a rocking motion, occurring when...
