Molecular Motor Constructed from a Double-Walled Carbon Nanotube Driven by Axially Varying Voltage
Z. C. Tu, X. Hu
A new molecular motor is conceptually constructed from a double-walled carbon nanotube (DWNT) consisting of a long inner single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) and a short outer SWNT…
Geometric theory on the elasticity of bio-membranes
Z. C. Tu, Z. C. Ou-Yang
The purpose of this paper is to study the shapes and stabilities of bio-membranes within the framework of exterior differential forms. After a brief review of the current status in…
Double-walled carbon nanotubes as hundred gigahertz oscillators
Z. C. Tu, Z. C. Ou-Yang
Based on the van der Waals interaction, the periodically nonlinear potential of a singe-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) with finite length in an infinite length SWNT is analytically…
Comment on "Highly Extended Image States around Nanotubes"
Z. C. Tu, Z. C. Ou-Yang
A Comment on the Letter by Granger et.al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 135506 (2002).
Spiral symmetry and general Bloch's theorem
Z. C. Tu
In this paper, spiral symmetry in cylindrical coordinate and general Bloch's theorem induced from it are discussed. This general Bloch's theorem is useful for considering the prope…
Single- and multi-walled carbon nanotubes viewed as elastic tubes with Young's moduli dependent on layer number
Zhan-chun Tu, Zhong-can Ou-Yang
The complete energy expression of a deformed single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) is derived in the continuum limit from the local density approximation model proposed by Lenosky {…
