Giant Wave-Drag Enhancement of Friction in Sliding Carbon Nanotubes
Paul Tangney, Marvin L. Cohen, Steven G. Louie
Molecular dynamics simulations of coaxial carbon nanotubes in relative sliding motion reveal a striking enhancement of friction when phonons whose group velocity is close to the sl…
Temperature Dependence of the Band Gap of Semiconducting Carbon Nanotubes
Rodrigo B. Capaz, Catalin D. Spataru, Paul Tangney +2
The temperature dependence of the band gap of semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is calculated by direct evaluation of electron-phonon couplings within a ``frozen-…
A many-body interatomic potential for ionic systems: application to MgO
Paul Tangney, Sandro Scandolo
An analytic representation of the short-range repulsion energy in ionic systems is described that allows for the fact that ions may change their size and shape depending on their e…
