Reduced carbon solubility in Fe nano-clusters and implications for the growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes
A. R. Harutyunyan, N. Awasthi, A. Jiang +5
Various diameters of alumina-supported Fe catalysts are used to grow single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with chemical vapor decomposition. We find that the reduction of the ca…

Molecular Dynamics Study of Bamboo-like Carbon Nanotube Nucleation
Feng Ding, Kim Bolton, Arne Rosen
MD simulations based on an empirical potential energy surface were used to study the nucleation of bamboo-like carbon nanotubes (BCNTs). The simulations reveal that inner walls of…
