Optimized geometries of carbon atomic chains constrained by two GNRs with various types of edges. (a) a 8-sp-atom chain bridging two GNRs with 5-7 edges, (b) a 9-sp-atom chain bridging two GNRs with ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Theoretical studies have long predicted that the exceptional physical and chemical properties of a rigid monatomic linear chain of carbon atoms could function as the component of ...

A team of researchers affiliated with multiple institutions in Japan has developed a technique for tracing the diffusion of carbon isotopes using atomic-scale vibrational spectroscopy. In their paper ...

Carbon nanotubes have been employed for a variety of uses including composite materials, biosensors, nano-electronic circuits and membranes. While they have proven useful for these purposes, no one ...

A new method is developed for the simulation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) based on the molecular mechanics (MM) and cellular automata (CA) algorithms. The proposed atomic-based CA algorithm (ACAA) is as ...

The Model 628 is a furnace-type holder that has been specifically designed to facilitate the direct observation of microstructural phase changes, growth, catalysis, nucleation, growth, and dissolution ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a standard imaging technique for the structural characterization of surfaces in different fields of materials science, surface science, and biology. Carbon nanotubes ...
