Mechanical properties of nickel-coated single-walled carbon nanotubes and their embedded gold matrix composites

The effects of nickel coating on the mechanical behaviors of armchair single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and their embedded gold matrix composites under axial tension are investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method. The results show that the Young's moduli and tensile strength of SWCNTs obviously decrease after nickel coating. For armchair SWCNTs, the decreased ratio of the Young's moduli of SWCNTs with smaller radius is larger than that of SWCNTs with larger radius. A comparison is made between the response to Young's modulus of a composite with parallel embedded nanotube and the response of a composite with vertically embedded nanotube. The results show that the uncoated SWCNT can enhance the Young's modulus of composite under the condition of parallel embedment, but such improvement disappears under the condition of vertical embedment because the interaction between SWCNT and gold matrix is too weak for effective load transfer. However, the nickel-coated SWCNT can indeed significantly improve the composite behavior.

A computational prediction of total carbo-merization on single-walled carbon nanotubes

The total carbo-mer of single-walled carbon nanotubes (C-SWCNTs) are constructed by inserting two sp carbon atoms into each C-C bond in pristine single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The geometric, mechanical and electronic properties for these novel structures are investigated by self-consistent-field crystal calculations. The calculated zigzag and chiral C-SWCNTs are all small gap semiconductors, whereas the metallic property is still kept in the armchair C-SWCNT. The calculated Young's moduli of C-SWCNTs are smaller than those of SWCNTs. Our calculations show that the zigzag C-SWCNTs have higher mobility than the corresponding SWCNTs. Moreover, the calculated mobility of the C-SWCNTs has a periodic change with the change of the tube diameters.     

Effects of temperature and vacancy defects on tensile deformation of single-walled carbon nanotubes

This study adopts the Tersoff-Brenner interaction potential function in a series of molecular dynamic (MD) simulations which investigate the mechanical properties under tensile loading of (10,0) zigzag, (8,3) chiral and (6,6) armchair single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) of similar radii. The Young's modulus values of the (10,0), (8,3) and (6,6) nanotubes are determined to be approximately 0.92, 0.95, and 1.03 TPa, respectively. Of these nanotubes, the results reveal that the (6,6) nanotube possesses the best tensile strength and toughness properties under tension. Although it is noted that under small tensions, the mechanical properties such as Young's modulus are essentially insensitive to helicity, under larger plastic deformations, they may be influenced by helicity effects. Finally, the simulations demonstrate that the values of the majority of the considered mechanical properties decrease with increasing temperature and increasing vacancy percentage.     

Geometry and electronic properties of single vacancies in achiral carbon nanotubes

An ideal single vacancy can be formed by removing one carbon atom from a hexagonal network. The vacancy is one of the most important defect structures in carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Vacancies can affect the mechanical, chemical, and electronic properties of CNTs. We have systematically investigated single vacancies and their related point defects for achiral, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) using first-principles calculations. The structures around single vacancies undergo reconstruction without constraint, forming ground-stateor metastable-state structures. The 5-1DB and 3DB point defects can be formed in armchair CNTS, while the 5-1DB-P and 5-1DB-T point defects can be formed in zigzag CNTs. The related point defects can transform into each other under certain conditions. The formation energies of armchair CNTs change smoothly with the tube radius, while in the case of the 3DB defect, as the radius get larger, the formation energies tend towards a constant value.
