缺陷对碳纳米管摩擦与运动行为的影响

本文采用分子动力学方法研究了公度、无公度情况下含空位、Stone-Thrower-Wales(STW)型缺陷的单壁碳纳米管(SWCNT)在石墨基底上的摩擦与运动行为.结果表明,公度时缺陷的存在导致了界面局部无公度,减小了摩擦.随着碳纳米管底部STW缺陷的增多,碳纳米管变形增大,侧向力波动的幅值减小,局部无公度性增强,摩擦减小.含空位缺陷的碳纳米管所受的摩擦力明显大于含STW缺陷的碳纳米管,原因在于含空位缺陷的碳纳米管在运动的后期出现了明显的翻转现象,增大了能量耗散.无公度时,碳纳米管与石墨基底间的摩擦力很小,缺陷对其摩擦力影响不大,原因在于无论是否含有缺陷,碳纳米管与石墨组成的界面的无公度性差别不大.

Structure, stability, and motion of dislocations in double-wall carbon nanotubes

In this paper,a novel double-wall carbon nanotube(DWCNT) with both edge and screw dislocations is studied by using the molecular dynamics(MD) method.The differences between two adjacent tubule indexes of armchair and zigzag nanotubes are determined to be 5 and 9,respectively,by taking into account the symmetry,integrality,and thermal stability of the composite structures.It is found that melting first occurs near the dislocations,and the melting temperatures of the dislocated armchair and zigzag DWCNTs are around 2600 K-2700 K.At the premelting temperatures,the shrink of the dislocation loop,which is comprised of edge and screw dislocations,implies that the composite dislocation in DWCNTs has self-healing ability.The dislocated DWCNTs first fracture at the edge dislocations,which induces the entire break in axial tensile test.The dislocated DWCNTs have a smaller fracture strength compared to the perfect DWCNTs.Our results not only match with the dislocation glide of carbon nanotubes(CNTs) in experiments,but also can free from the electron beam radiation under experimental conditions observed by the high resolution transmission electron microscope(HRTEM),which is deemed to cause the motion of dislocation loop.     

Influencing range of vacancy defects in zigzag single-walled carbon nanotubes

The influencing range of a vacancy defect in a zigzag single-walled nanotube is characterized with both structural deformation and variation in bandstructure. This paper proposes a microscopic explanation to relate the structural deformation to the bandstructure variation. With an increasing defect density, the nanotubes become oblate and the energy gap between the deep localized gap state and the conducting band minimum state decreases. Theoretical results shed some light on the local energy gap engineering via vacancy density for future potential applications.     

稀有气体原子在纳米碳管中的周期性振荡

采用TLHT势和经典分子动力学方法研究了稀有气体原子进入单壁纳米碳管(SWCNT)的动力学过程，计算得出SWCNT能吸入稀有气体原子(He，Ne，Ar，Kr，Xe)的管径阈值r₀分别为6.3 ?，7.0 ?，8.6 ?，8.6 ?，8.6 ?，同时计算了对应的每种稀有气体原子能封装在不同管径的SWCNT中的最大初始动能E_k0.计算给出有趣的结果是封装在纳米碳管中的稀有气体原子在管中不停地作周期性振荡，振荡周期与原子进入管中的能量无关，振幅与原子进入管中的能量有关，即振幅随着入射能量的增加而增加.分析表明：给定合适类型的碳管，具有很小初始动能的稀有气体原子可在碳管中稳定的周期性振荡，其振荡频率可达GHz.     

Electronic properties of multi-defected zigzag carbon nanotubes

Electronic properties of multi-defected zigzag single-walled carbon nanotubes are investigated by use of the tight-binding Green's function method. The Stone-Wales defects and the vacancies are considered. We find that the conductance sensitively depends on the realistic defect configurations for the metallic zigzag carbon nanotubes. Interestingly, the electronic transport properties of the nanotubes with three vacancies can be considered as the sum effect of two double-vacancies, while those with Stone-Wal...     

Influence of chirality on the thermal conductivity of single-walled carbon nanotubes

The influence of chirality on the thermal conductivity of single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWNTs) is discussed in this paper, using a non-equilibrium molecular dynamics(NEMD) method. The tube lengths of the SWNTs studied here are 20, 50, and 100 nm, respectively, and at each length the relationship between chiral angle and thermal conductivity of a SWNT is revealed. We find that if the tube length is relatively short, the influence of chirality on the thermal conductivity of a SWNT is more obvious and that a SWNT with a larger chiral angle has a greater thermal conductivity. Moreover, the thermal conductivity of a zigzag SWNT is smaller than that of an armchair one. As the tube length becomes longer, the thermal conductivity increases while the influence of chirality on the thermal conductivity decreases.     

Molecular dynamics studies on the thermal conductivity of single-walled carbon nanotubes

We have studied the thermal conductivity of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) using the NEMD method. The results indicate that the thermal conductivity values are not profoundly influenced by the specific simulation-technique used in the MD simulations. Some possible reasons, which could be responsible for the discrepancy on thermal conductivity values of SWCNTs in the literatures, are discussed.      

碳纳米管对接成异质结器件的计算模拟

基于Stone-Wales缺陷演变理论与分子动力学、Monte Carlo计算方法, 进行了碳纳米管(CNTs)对接成异质结器件的计算模拟.首先, 提出了一种模拟CNTs端帽位置变化的新算法, 并计算模拟了单根CNT的端帽从开口到闭合的过程. Stone-Wales缺陷演变被设计模拟这些端帽变化的跃变过程, 以模拟C–C键的生成与断裂, 而分子动力学则作为跃变后构型弛豫的渐变模拟. 同时, 研究了不同管型CNTs的端帽打开并对接形成异质结的过程.研究结果显示, 对接初期在对接处先产生大量的缺陷, 以促进反应的发生. 这些缺陷趋向于演变成稳定的六元环结构, 或者五元环/七元环的结构, 使异质结趋于稳定. 关键词： 碳纳米管 Monte Carlo Stone-Wales缺陷 分子动力学     

Length-independent inter-tube conductance in double-wall carbon nanotubes

Conductance due to inter-tube transfer in incommensurate double-wall tubes is numerically studied. The conductance is usually much smaller than e²/π and its average and fluctuation are independent of the length. This behavior arises because the inter-tube transfer oscillate around zero in a complex plain as a function of position in a quasi-periodic manner and therefore cancel each other when being summed up except near tube edges.
