Field Emission Enhancement of Carbon Nanotubes by Surface Modification

By employing a multi-walled carbon nanotube （MWCNT） film as the substrate, we obtain Fe tipped carbon nanorods or carbon nanoparticles grown on the outer walls of MWCNTs by combining sputtering deposition of Fe films and rf plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition at high temperature. Scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy are used to examine the structure of carbon nanorods and carbon nanoparticles. In addition, the formation mechanism is discussed briefly. The electron field emission tests indicate that the turn-on field （at 10μA/cm^2） of the treated MWCNT films decreases from 2.4 V/μm to O. 79 V/μm and the field emission current is relatively stable. The enhanced field enhancement factor, increasing emission densities coming from the grown nanorods and nanoparticles, and H terminated by H plasma a11 are responsible for the enhancement of the field enhancement factor.     

Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Acting as Controllable Transport Channels

The motion and equilibrium distribution of water molecules adsorbed inside neutral and negatively charged singlewalled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been studied using molecular dynamics simulations (MDSs) at room temperature based on CHARMM (Chemistry at HARvard Molecular Mechanics) potential parameters. We find that water molecules have a conspicuous electropism phenomenon and regular tubule patterns inside and outside the charged tube wall. The analyses of the motion behaviour of water molecules in the radial and axial directions show that by charging the SWNT, the adsorption efficiency is greatly enhanced, and the electric field produced by the charged SWNTs prevents water molecules from flowing out of the nanotube. However, water molecules can travel through the neutral SWNT in a fluctuating manner. This indicates that by electrically charging and uncharging the SWNTs, one can control the adsorption and transport behaviour of polar molecules in SWNTs for using as a stable storage medium or long transport channels. The transport velocity can be tailored by changing the charge on the SWNTs, which may have a further application as modulatable transport channels.     

Length Dependence of Thermal Conductivity of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Dependence of the thermal conductivity on the length of two armchair single-walled carbon nanotubes （SWNTs） is studied by the nonequilibrium molecular dynamics （MD） method with Brenner Ⅱ potential. The thermal conductivities are calculated for （5, 5） and （7, 7） SWNTs with lengths ranging from 22 to 155nm. The results show that the thermal conductivity of SWNTs is sensitive to the length and it does not converge to a finite value when the tube length increases up to 155nm, however it obeys a power law relation.     

Hydrogen Storage in Benzene Moiety Decorated Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

The hydrogen storage capacity of （5, 5） single-walled carbon nanotubes （SWNTs） decorated chemically with benzene moieties is studied by using molecular dynamics simulations （MDSs） and density functional theory （DFT） calculations. It is found that benzene molecules colliding on （5, 5） SWNTs at incident energy of 50eV form very stable configurations of benzene moiety adsorption on the wall of SWNTs. The MDSs indicate that when the benzene moiety decorated （5, 5） SWNTs and a pristine （5, 5） SWNT are put in a box in which hydrogen molecules are filled to a pressure of ～26 atm, the hydrogen storage capacity of the benzene moiety decorated （5, 5） SWNT is about 4.7wt.% and that of the pristine （5, 5） SWNT is nearly 3.9wt.%.     

Ab Initio Calculation on Self-Assembled Base-Functionalized Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

We perform ab initio calculations on the self-assembled base-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes （SWNTs） which exhibit the quasi-1D ‘ladder＇ structure. The optimized configuration in the ab initio calculation is very similar to that obtained from molecular dynamics simulation. We also calculate the electronic structures of the self-assembled base-functionalized SWNTs that exhibit distinct difference from the single-branch base-functionalized SWNT with a localized state lying just below the Fermi level, which may result from the coupling interaction between the bases accompanied by the self-assembly behaviour.     

Assessment of Timoshenko Beam Models for Vibrational Behavior of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Using Molecular Dynamics

In this paper, we study the flexural vibration behavior of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) for the assessment of Timoshenko beam models. Extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations based on second-generation reactive empirical bond-order (REBO) potential and Timoshenko beam modeling are performed to determine the vibration frequencies for SWCNTs with various length-to-diameter ratios, boundary conditions, chiral angles and initial strain. The effectiveness of the local and nonlocal Timoshenko beam models in the vibration analysis is assessed using the vibration frequencies of MD simulations as the benchmark. It is shown herein that the Timoshenko beam models with properly chosen parameters are applicable for the vibration analysis of SWCNTs. The simulation results show that the fundamental frequencies are independent of the chiral angles, but the chirality has an appreciable effect on higher vibration frequencies. The SWCNTs is very sensitive to the initial strain even if the strain is extremely small.     

Effect of Longitudinal Magnetic Field on Vibration Characteristics of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes in a Viscoelastic Medium

The effect of longitudinal magnetic field on vibration response of a sing-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) embedded in viscoelastic medium is investigated. Based on nonlocal Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, Maxwell’s relations, and Kelvin viscoelastic foundation model, the governing equations of motion for vibration analysis are established. The complex natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes in closed form for the embedded SWCNT with arbitrary boundary conditions are obtained using transfer function method (TFM). The new analytical expressions for the complex natural frequencies are also derived for certain typical boundary conditions and Kelvin-Voigt model. Numerical results from the model are presented to show the effects of nonlocal parameter, viscoelastic parameter, boundary conditions, aspect ratio, and strength of the magnetic field on vibration characteristics for the embedded SWCNT in longitudinal magnetic field. The results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed methods for vibration analysis of embedded SWCNTs under magnetic field.
