Nanotube caps on Ni, Fe, and NiFe nano particles: A path to chirality selective growth
Heiko Dumlich, John Robertson, Stephanie Reich
Carbon nanotubes have properties depending on the arrangement of carbon atoms on the tube walls, called chirality. Also it has been tried to grow nanotubes of only one chirality fo…

Nanotube bundles and tube-tube orientation: A van der Waals Density Functional Study
Heiko Dumlich, Stephanie Reich
We study the binding energy, intertube distance and electronic structure of bundles consisting of single walled carbon nanotubes of the same chirality. We model various nanotube st…

Chirality-Dependent Growth Rate of Carbon Nanotubes - A Theoretical Study
Heiko Dumlich, Stephanie Reich
We consider geometric constraints for the addition of carbon atoms to the rim of a growing nanotube. The growth of a tube proceeds through the conversion of dangling bonds from arm…
