Thermodynamic properties and correlation functions of Ar films on the surface of a bundle of nanotubes
Nathan M. Urban, Silvina M. Gatica, Milton W. Cole +1
We employ canonical Monte Carlo simulations to explore the properties of an Ar film adsorbed on the external surface of a bundle of carbon nanotubes. The study is concerned primari…
Wetting transition of water on graphite and other surfaces
S. M. Gatica, J. K. Johnson, X. C. Zhao +1
A wetting transition occurs when the contact angle of a liquid drop on a surface changes from a nonzero value to zero. Such a transition has never been observed for water on any so…
Intriguing examples of inhomogeneous broadening
Francesco Ancilotto, M. Mercedes Calbi, Milton W. Cole +2
Three problems are considered in which inhomogeneous broadening can yield unusual consequences. One problem involves the energy levels of atoms moving within nanopores of nearly cy…
Universal anisotropic condensation transition of gases in nanotube bundles
Silvina M. Gatica, M. Mercedes Calbi, Milton W. Cole
Gases adsorbed within bundles of carbon nanotubes (inside of the nanotubes or in the interstitial channels between the tubes) exhibit a variety of phase transitions with the help o…
Bose-Einstein Condensation of Molecular Hydrogen in Nanotube Bundles
Francesco Ancilotto, M. Mercedes Calbi, Silvina M. Gatica +1
We evaluate the effects of heterogeneity on the density of states of H molecules inside interstitial channels within bundles of carbon nanotubes. As temperature (T) falls, the…
Peas in a pod: quasi-one-dimensional C60 molecules in a nanotube
M. Mercedes Calbi, Silvina M. Gatica, Milton W. Cole
We evaluate the equation of state of the quasi-one-dimensional (1D) phase of C60 molecules in small carbon nanotubes, nicknamed ``peas in a pod''. The chemical potential and 1D pre…
