Effects of Radius and Orientation of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes on Their Nonlinear Tensile Deformation Behaviour 下载免费PDF全文
By capturing the atomic information and reflecting the behaviour governed by a nonlinear potential function, an analytical molecular mechanics approach is applied to establish the constitutive relation for single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The nonlinear tensile deformation curves of zigzag and armchair nanotubes with different radii are predicted, and the elastic properties of these SWCNTs are obtained. A conclusion is made that the nanotube radius has little effect on the mechanical behaviour of SWCNTs subject to simple tension, while the nanotube orientation has larger influence. 相似文献

Single wall carbon nanotubes with small diameters (〈 5.0 A) subjected to bending deformation are simulated by orthogonal tight-binding molecular dynamics approach. Based on the calculations of C-C bond stretching and breaking in the bending nanotubes, we elucidate the atomistic failure mechanisms of nanotube with small diameters. In the folding zone of bending nanotube, a large elongation of C-C bonds occurs, accounting for the superelastic behaviour. The C-C bonds parallel to the axis direction of nanotube are broken firstly due to the sustained longitudinal stretching strain, giving rising to forming one-notch or two-notch bond-breaking mode depending on nanotube chirMities. The direct bond-breaking mechanism is responsible for the brittle fracture behaviour of nanotubes with small diameters. 相似文献

Molecular dynamics simulation on mechanicalproperty of carbon nanotube torsional deformation 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3 下载免费PDF全文
In this paper torsional deformation of the carbon nanotubes is simulated by
molecular dynamics method. The Brenner potential is used to set up thesimulation
system. Simulation results show that the carbon nanotubes can bear larger torsional
deformation, for the armchair type (10,10) single wall carbon nanotubes, with a
yielding phenomenon taking place when the torsional angle is up to
63$^{\circ}$(1.1rad). The influence of carbon nanotube helicity in torsional
deformation is very small. The shear modulus of single wall carbon nanotubes should
be several hundred GPa, not 1\,GPa as others reports. 相似文献

A carbon-nanotube-atom fixed and activated scheme of non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations is put forward to extract the thermal conductivity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) embedded in solid argon. Though a 6.5% volume fraction of CNTs increases the composite thermal conductivity to about twice as much as that of the pure basal material, the thermal conductivity of CNTs embedded in solids is found to be decreased by 1/8-1/5 with reference to that of pure ones. The decrease of the intrinsic thermal conductivity of the solid-embedded CNTs and the thermal interface resistance are demonstrated to be responsible for the results. 相似文献

Hydrogen storage in BC3 composite single-walled nanotube:a combined density functional theory and Monte Carlo investigation 下载免费PDF全文
This paper applies a density functional theory(DFT) and grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations(GCMC) to investigate the physisorptions of molecular hydrogen in single-walled BC 3 nanotubes and carbon nanotubes.The DFT calculations may provide useful information about the nature of hydrogen adsorption and physisorption energies in selected adsorption sites of these two nanotubes.Furthermore,the GCMC simulations can reproduce their storage capacity by calculating the weight percentage of the adsorbed molecular hydrogen under different conditions.The present results have shown that with both computational methods,the hydrogen storage capacity of BC 3 nanotubes is superior to that of carbon nanotubes.The reasons causing different behaviour of hydrogen storage in these two nanotubes are explained by using their contour plots of electron density and charge-density difference. 相似文献

Morphologies and microstructures of carbon nanotubes prepared by self—sustained arc discharging 下载免费PDF全文
We have investigated the morphology and microstructure of carbon nanotubes and nanoparticles in cathode deposits prepared by self-sustained arc discharge. Scanning electron microscopy images indicate that there are two regions exhibiting different morphologies on the top surface of the cathode deposits. In the central region, there is a triangular pattern of spots with a diameter up to 100μm, which consists of carbon nanotubes and nanoparticles. In the fringe region, carbon nanotubes and nanoparticles are distributed randomly. In addition, carbon nanotubes in the central region have a larger inner diameter, compared with those in the fringe region. The outer diameter distribution of tubes in the central region is narrower than that of tubes in the fringe region, while the former has a smaller peak value than the latter. For the nanoparticles, they exhibit a different behaviour from the tubes existing in the same region. The difference between the microstructure of tubes or particles in the two regions is attributed to the different temperatures and temperature gradients during their formation. 相似文献

The van der Waals(vdW) interactions of carbon nanotube(CNT)–substrate and CNT–CNT can cause strong adhesion. The adhesion can lead to radial deformation of CNTs, which is shown in both experiments and theoretical analysis. A scaling approach is used to predict the mechanical properties, vdW adhesion, and the elastic deformation of CNTs. It is found that the indentation of CNT is proportional to R7/4 and h3/2 in nanotube–substrate system and two same CNT system. Here, R and h are the radius and the wall thickness of CNT, respectively. The indentation ratio H1/H2 for CNT–CNT is proportional to(R1/R2)3/2 and(h2/h1)3/2. 相似文献

We investigate the interaction of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and methane molecule from the first principles. Adsorption energies are calculated, and methane affinities for the typical semiconducting and metallic nanotubes are compared. We also discuss role of the structural defects and nanotube curvature on the adsorption capability of the SWCNTs. We could observe larger adsorption energies for the metallic CNTs in comparison with the semiconducting CNTs. The obtained results for the zig zag nanotubes with various diameters reveal that the adsorption energy is higher for nanotubes with larger diameters. For defected tubes the adsorption energies are calculated for various configurations such as methane molecule approaching to the defect sites pentagon, hexagon, and heptagon in the tube surface. The results show that the introduce defects have an important contribution to the adsorption mechanism of the methane on SWNTs. 相似文献

In this paper we present some simulation results about the behaviour
of water molecules inside a single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT). We
find that the confinement of water in an SWNT can induce a wave-like
pattern distribution along the channel axis, similar phenomena are
also observed in biological water channels. Carbon nanotubes(CNTs)
can serve as simple nonpolar water channels. Molecular transport
through narrow CNTs is highly collective because of tight hydrogen
bonds in the protective environment of the pore. The hydrogen bond
net is important for proton and other signal transports. The average
dipoles of water molecules inside CNTs (7,7), (8,8) and (9,9) are
discussed in detail. Simulation results indicate that the states of
dipole are affected by the diameter of SWNT. The number of hydrogen
bonds, the water--water interaction and water--CNT interaction are
also studied in this paper. 相似文献

The transport behavior of pressure-driven aqueous electrolyte solution through charged carbon nanotubes(CNTs) is studied by using molecular dynamics simulations. The results reveal that the presence of charges around the nanotube can remarkably reduce the flow velocity as well as the slip length of the aqueous solution, and the decreasing of magnitude depends on the number of surface charges and distribution. With 1-M KCl solution inside the carbon nanotube, the slip length decreases from 110 nm to only 14 nm when the number of surface charges increases from 0 to 12 e. This phenomenon is attributed to the increase of the solid–liquid friction force due to the electrostatic interaction between the charges and the electrolyte particles, which can impede the transports of water molecules and electrolyte ions. With the simulation results,we estimate the energy conversion efficiency of nanofluidic battery based on CNTs, and find that the highest efficiency is only around 30% but not 60% as expected in previous work. 相似文献

A set of forty-three hetero-junction CNTs, made of forty-four homogeneous carbon nanotubes of different chiralities and configurations with all possible hetero-connection types, were numerically simulated, based on the finite element method in a commercial finite element software and their Young's and shear moduli, and critical buckling loads were obtained and evaluated under the tensile, torsional and buckling loads with an assumption of linear elastic deformation and also compared with each other. The comparison of the linear elastic behavior of hetero-junction CNTs and their corresponding fundamental tubes revealed that the size, type of the connection, and the bending angle in the structure of hetero-junction CNTs considerably influences the mechanical properties of these hetero-structures. It was also discovered that the Stone-Wales defect leads to lower elastic and torsional strength of hetero-junction CNTs when compared to homogeneous CNTs. However, the buckling strength of the hetero-junction CNTs was found to lie in the range of the buckling strength of their corresponding fundamental tubes. It was also determined that the shear modulus of hetero-junction carbon nanotubes generally tends to be closer to the shear modulus of their wider fundamental tubes while critical buckling loads of these heterostructures seem to be closer to critical buckling loads of their thinner fundamental tubes. The evaluation of the elastic properties of hetero-junction carbon nanotubes showed that among the hetero-junction models, those with armchair-armchair and zigzag-zigzag kinks have the highest elastic modulus while the models with armchair-zigzag connections show the lowest elastic stiffness. The results from torsion tests also revealed the fact that zigzag-zigzag and armchair-zigzag hetero-junction carbon nanotubes have the highest and the lowest shear modulus, respectively. Finally, it was observed that the highest critical buckling loads belong to armchair-armchair hetero-junction carbon nanotubes and the lowest buckling strength was found with the hetero-junction models with armchair-zigzag connection. 相似文献

The non-covalent adsorption of the insensitive explosive TATB (1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene) on the sidewalls of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been calculated using an ONIOM approach. It was found that TATB deformed remarkably when attached non-covalently on the surface of CNTs, especially on the inner wall of the nanotubes. The diameter of the nanotube determined the degree of distortion of the inner-adsorbed TATB, but had little effect on the deformation of the outer-attached TATB. The non-covalent combination of TATB with the nanotube is an exothermic process due to the negative adsorption energy. TATB adsorption on the inner wall of nanotubes was energetically more favorable than that on the outer wall of the nanotubes. In both cases, the adsorption became more stable with increasing diameter of the nanotube. Our theoretical results can be used as a guideline for the design of energetic nanocomposites based on CNTs and aromatic nitro-explosives. 相似文献

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were synthesized by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method on transmission electron microscopy (TEM) silica coated nickel grids using carbon monoxide as carbon source and iron nanoparticles as catalyst. The produced CNTs were as large as 11 nm in diameter. Investigations on the CNT deformations based on high-resolution TEM images showed that the deformation of CNTs due to their interaction with the substrate occurs at diameters larger than 2.7 nm. Small deformation of free standing tubes was found to occur at diameters above approximately 4.5 nm. 相似文献

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) possess extremely high mechanical properties and could be the ultimate reinforcing materials for the
development of nanocomposites. In this work, a Finite Element (FE) model based on the molecular mechanics theory was developed
to evaluate tensile properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The deformation and fracture of carbon nanotubes
under tensile strain conditions were studied by common FE software, Ansys. In this model, individual carbon nanotube was simulated
as a frame-like structure, and the primary bonds between two nearest-neighboring atoms were treated as beam elements. The
beam element properties were determined via the concept of energy equivalence between molecular dynamics and structural mechanics.
So far, several researches have studied the elastic behavior of CNTs, and its nonlinearity is not well understood. The novelty
of the model lies on the use of nonlinear beam elements to evaluate SWNTs tensile failure. The obtained calculated mechanical
properties show good agreement with existing numerical and experimental results. 相似文献

Considering impurity doping in small sized carbon nanotubes of diameter around 0.4 nm, we have calculated the donor binding energy by increasing the dopant concentration through a screening function that includes the curvature effect. We could observe the sudden fall in donor binding energy and metallic behaviour of the smaller single walled carbon nanotubes around 1011/cm2 (0.0026%) of impurity concentration. This result is useful for nano electronic device application such as nano diodes and switches. 相似文献

Free Vibration Analysis of Nanocomposite Plates Reinforced by Graded Carbon Nanotubes Based on First-Order Shear Deformation Plate Theory 下载免费PDF全文

Based on the Mindlin's first-order shear deformation plate theory this paper
focuses on the free vibration behavior of functionally graded nanocomposite
plates reinforced by aligned and straight single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs).
The material properties of simply supported functionally graded carbon
nanotube-reinforced (FGCNTR) plates are assumed to be graded in the thickness
direction. The effective material properties at a point are estimated by either
the Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka approach or the extended rule of mixture. Two types of
symmetric carbon nanotubes (CNTs) volume fraction profiles are presented in this
paper. The equations of motion and related boundary conditions are derived using
the Hamilton's principle. A semi-analytical solution composed of generalized
differential quadrature (GDQ) method, as an efficient and accurate numerical method,
and series solution is adopted to solve the equations of motions. The primary
contribution of the present work is to provide a comparative study of the natural
frequencies obtained by extended rule of mixture and Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka method.
The detailed parametric studies are carried out to study the influences various
types of the CNTs volume fraction profiles, geometrical parameters and CNTs volume
fraction on the free vibration characteristics of FGCNTR plates. The results reveal
that the prediction methods of effective material properties have an insignificant
influence of the variation of the frequency parameters with the plate aspect ratio
and the CNTs volume fraction. 相似文献
