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...

description |
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 the inner tube is pulled about 1/3 out of the outer tube, is responsible for significant phonon energy acquisitions. For oscillators with long nanotubes translational energies are mainly dissipated via a wavy deformation in the outer tube undergoing radial vibrations. Frictional forces between 10^-17 and 10^-14 N per atom are found for various dissipative mechanisms. |
