Elastic and Fracture Properties of Single Walled Pentagraphene Nanotubes
J. M. De Sousa, A. L. Aguiar, E. C. Girão +3
Membranes of carbon allotropes comprised solely of densely packed pentagonal rings, known as pentagraphene, exhibit negative Poisson's ratio (auxetic behavior) and a bandgap of $3.…
Elastic Properties of Graphyne-based Nanotubes
J. M. De Sousa, R. A. Bizao, V. P. Sousa Filho +6
Graphyne nanotubes (GNTs) are nanostructures obtained from rolled up graphyne sheets, in the same way carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are obtained from graphene ones. Graphynes are 2D carb…
Rotational dynamics and polymerization of C in C-cubane crystals: A molecular dynamics study
Vitor R. Coluci, Fernando Sato, Scheila F. Braga +2
We report classical and tight-binding molecular dynamics simulations of the C fullerene and cubane molecular crystal in order to investigate intermolecular dynamics and poly…
Modeling the Auxetic Transition for Carbon Nanotube Sheets
Vitor R. Coluci, Lee J. Hall, Mikhail E. Kozlov +4
A simple model is developed to predict the complex mechanical properties of carbon nanotube sheets (buckypaper) [Hall \textit{et al.}, \textit{Science} \textbf{320} 504 (2008)]. Fa…
Entanglement and the nonlinear elastic behavior of forests of coiled carbon nanotubes
Vitor R. Coluci, Alexandre F. Fonseca, Douglas S. Galvao +1
Helical or coiled nanostructures have been object of intense experimental and theoretical studies due to their special electronic and mechanical properties. Recently, it was experi…
Designing Conducting Polymers Using Bioinspired Ant Algorithms
Bruno V. C. Martins, Gustavo Brunetto, Fernando Sato +2
Ant algorithms are inspired in real ants and the main idea is to create virtual ants that travel into the space of possible solution depositing virtual pheromone proportional to ho…
