Target-oriented design of helical nanotube molecules for rolled incommensurate bilayers
Incommensurate double-wall carbon nanotubes give rise to unique stereochemistry originating from twisted stacks of hexagon arrays, but atomic-level studies of molecular analogues are hindered by the challenges in designing and synthesizing pairs of ...

Photonics with Multiwall Carbon Nanotube Arrays [PDF]
We investigate the photonic properties of two-dimensional nanotube arrays for photon energies up to 40 eV and unveil the physics of two distinct applications: deep-UV photonic crystals and total visible absorbers. We find three main regimes: for small intertube spacing of 20-30 nm, we obtain strong Bragg scattering and photonic band gaps in the deep-UV
