Möbius and twisted graphene nanoribbons: stability, geometry and electronic properties
Ewerton W. S. Caetano, Valder N. Freire, Sergio G. dos Santos +2
Results of classical force field geometry optimizations for twisted graphene nanoribbons with a number of twists varying from 0 to 7 (the case =1 corresponds to a half-t…
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…
Atomistic Simulations of the Mechanical Properties of 'Super' Carbon Nanotubes
Vitor R. Coluci, Nicola M. Pugno, Socrates O. Dantas +2
The mechanical properties of the so-called `super' carbon nanotubes (STs) are investigated using classical molecular dynamics simulations. The STs are built from single walled carb…
Mechanical properties of amorphous nanosprings
Alexandre F. da Fonseca, C. P. Malta, D. S. Galvao
Helical amorphous nanosprings have attracted particular interest due to their special mechanical properties. In this work we present a simple model, within the framework of the Kir…
