Doping of zigzag carbon nanotubes through the encapsulation of small fullerenes
K. S. Troche, V. R. Coluci, R. Rurali +1
In this work we investigated the encapsulation of C and C fullerenes into semiconducting carbon nanotubes to study the possibility of bandgap engineering in such systems.…

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…

Prediction of Giant Electro-actuation for Carbon Nanoscrolls
R. Rurali, V. R. Coluci, D. S. Galvão
We study by first-principles calculations the electro-mechanical response of carbon nanoscrolls. We show that although they present a very similar behavior to carbon nanotubes for…
