Electric-field-enhanced assembly of single-walled carbon nanotubes on a solid surface
Article Abstract:
A novel electric field-enhanced chemical assembly approach for fabricating highly aligned single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) arrays on a solid surface with remarkably improved efficiency and packing density is reported. The molecular dynamics simulation results clarified the alignment of SWNTs with their long axes along the electric flux in solution, leading to the increase of packing density and efficiency through overcoming the steric hindrance of the 'giant' carbon nanotubes.

Channeling on carbon nanotubes: A molecular dynamics approach
Article Abstract:
Classical molecular dynamics on different kinds of carbon nanotubes is performed to examine their response to self-irradiation nearly parallel to the tube axis. The results indicate that the narrower tubes are adequate for transporting particles to longer distances.
