Carbon nanotubes are unique tubular structures of nanometer diameter and large
length/diameter ratio. The nanotubes may consist of one up to tens and hundreds of …

An overview of the various carbon structures with characteristic sizes in the nanoscale
region is presented, with special attention devoted to the structures and properties of …

The goal of this article is to provide an updated and in-depth review of some of the most
exciting and important developments in the processing and properties of carbon nanotubes …

This Letter outlines a model to account for the catalyzed growth of nanotubes by chemical
vapor deposition. It proposes that their formation and growth is an extension of other known …

Density functional theory is used to show that the adhesion between single-walled carbon
nanotubes (SWNTs) and the catalyst particles from which they grow needs to be strong to …

The development, characterization, and exploitation of novel materials based on the
assembly of molecular components is an exceptionally active and rapidly expanding field …

Various techniques including plasma-arc, laser ablation, and chemical vapor-phase
synthesis have been employed to produce bulk amounts of non-carbon (such as boron …

We perform molecular dynamics simulations to study shape changes of carbon fullerenes
and nanotubes with increasing temperature. At moderate temperatures, these systems gain …

We calculate the potential energy surface, the low-frequency vibrational modes, and the
electronic structure of a (5, 5)@(10, 10) double-wall carbon nanotube. We find that the weak …

Molecular dynamics simulations based on an empirical potential energy surface were used
to study iron catalyzed nucleation and growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) …
