Condensed phases of gases inside nanotube bundles
M. Mercedes Calbi, Milton W. Cole, Silvina M. Gatica +2
An overview is presented of the various phases predicted to occur when gases are absorbed within a bundle of carbon nanotubes. The behavior may be characterized by an effective dim…
Axial phase of quantum fluids in nanotubes
S. M. Gatica, G. Stan, M. M. Calbi +2
We explore the equations of state and other properties of various quantum fluids (3He, 4He, their mixtures, and H_2) confined within individual carbon nanotubes. Above a threshold…
Computer simulation studies of wetting on heterogeneous surfaces
S. Curtarolo, M. J. Bojan, G. Stan +2
The wetting of solid surfaces by fluids is a problem of great practical importance that has been extensively studied over the years. Most often, the experimental work has involved…
Interstitial He and Ne in Nanotube Bundles
G. Stan, V. H. Crespi, M. W. Cole +1
We explore the properties of atoms confined to the interstitial regions within a carbon nanotube bundle. We find that He and Ne atoms are of ideal size for physisorption interactio…
