The nonlinear mechanical response of carbon nanotubes, referred to as their “buckling"
behavior, is a major topic in the nanotube research community. Buckling means a …

The control of the geometry of carbon nanotubes has a high potential for electro-optical
technology developments. We report here the use of a new spectroscopic signature for the …

The absence of dangling bonds in close‐edged graphene nanoribbons (CEGNRs) confers
upon them a series of fascinating properties, especially when compared with cylindrical …

Close packed carbon nanotube bundles are materials with highly deformable elements, for
which unusual deformation mechanisms are expected. Structural evolution of the zigzag …

We study high-field electrical breakdown and heat dissipation from carbon nanotube (CNT)
devices on SiO 2 substrates. The thermal “footprint” of a CNT caused by van der Waals …

A computational multiscale contact mechanics model is proposed to describe the interaction
between deformable solids based on the interaction of individual atoms or molecules …

Flattened carbon nanotubes (flCNTs) naturally form in many carbon nanotube-based
materials and can exhibit mechanical properties similar to round carbon nanotubes but with …

Mechanical response of the carbon nanotube bundle to uniaxial and biaxial lateral
compression followed by unloading is modeled under plane strain conditions. The chain …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have record high tensile strength and Young's modulus, which
makes them ideal for making super strong yarns, ropes, fillers for composites, solid …

Carbon nanotubes tend to collapse when their diameters exceed a certain threshold, or
when a sufficiently large external pressure is applied on their walls. The radial stability of …
