Dominoes in Carbon Nanotubes

Physical Review Letters, 2008
We demonstrate by molecular dynamics simulations that the domino process can be developed in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Once a section of a SWCNT with an appropriate diameter (>3.5 nm) is collapsed, the successive collapse of the neighboring portions can generate a domino wave along the longitudinal direction of the tube.

Plumbing carbon nanotubes

Nature Nanotechnology, 2007
Since their discovery, the possibility of connecting carbon nanotubes together like water pipes has been an intriguing prospect for these hollow nanostructures. The serial joining of carbon nanotubes in a controlled manner offers a promising approach for the bottom-up engineering of nanotube structures--from simply increasing their aspect ratio to ...

Bioelectrocatalysis at carbon nanotubes

2020
This paper summarizes several examples of enzyme immobilization and bioelectrocatalysis at carbon nanotubes (CNTs). CNTs offer substantial improvements on the overall performance of amperometric enzyme electrodes mainly due to their unique structural, mechanical and electronic properties such as metallic, semi-conducting and superconducting electron ...

Sorting Carbon Nanotubes

Topics in Current Chemistry, 2017
Sorting of single-wall carbon nanotubes by their electronic and atomic structures in liquid phases is reviewed in this chapter. We first introduce the sorting problem, and then provide an overview of several sorting methodologies, following roughly the chronological order of their development over the past 15 years or so.

Toxicity of Carbon Nanotubes

Current Drug Metabolism, 2013
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) find their extensive application as a promising material in medicine due to unique characteristics. However, such materials have been accompanied with potentially hazardous effects on human health. The toxicity of CNTs may vary depending on their structural characteristics, surface properties and chemical composition.

Physics of carbon nanotubes

Carbon, 1995
The fundamental relations governing the geometry of carbon nanotubes are reviewed, and explicit examples are presented. A framework is given for the symmetry properties of carbon nanotubes for both symmorphic and non-symmorphic tubules which have screw-axis symmetry.

Properties of Carbon Nanotubes

2014
Carbon nanotubes are certainly the most studied nanomaterials ever, considering the cumulated number of papers devoted to them since the 1990s (Fig. 1.1). Only graphene will possibly overcome nanotubes in this regard one day, specifically because of the boosting effect of the Nobel Prize dedicated to it in 2010.

Carbon nanotubes on the roadmap

Science, 2017
Device Technology The formal challenge for high-performance transistors is to fit within ever smaller devices. They need to shrink from a lateral dimension of about 100 to 40 nanometers. Cao et al. fabricated tiny devices by using a single semiconducting carbon nanotubes, as well as arrays of these nanotubes.
