Thermodynamic properties and correlation functions of Ar films on the surface of a bundle of nanotubes
Nathan M. Urban, Silvina M. Gatica, Milton W. Cole +1
We employ canonical Monte Carlo simulations to explore the properties of an Ar film adsorbed on the external surface of a bundle of carbon nanotubes. The study is concerned primari…
The existence and properties of gases adsorbed within interstitial channels of nanotube bundles
M. Mercedes Calbi, Flavio Toigo, Milton W. Cole
We analyze the relationship between our group's results and those of three recent papers about gases in interstitial channels within nanotube bundles. In particular, we explain the…
Wetting transition of water on graphite and other surfaces
S. M. Gatica, J. K. Johnson, X. C. Zhao +1
A wetting transition occurs when the contact angle of a liquid drop on a surface changes from a nonzero value to zero. Such a transition has never been observed for water on any so…
Anomalous low temperature specific heat of He-3 inside nanotube bundles
S. M. Gatica, F. Ancilotto, M. W. Cole
Helium atoms and hydrogen molecules can be strongly bound inside interstitial channels within bundles of carbon nanotubes. An exploration of the low energy and low temperature prop…
Adsorption of Xe and Ar on Quasicrystalline Al-Ni-Co
R. A. Trasca, N. Ferralis, R. D. Diehl +1
An interaction potential energy between and adsorbate (Xe and Ar) and the 10-fold Al-Ni-Co quasicrystal is computed by summing over all adsorbate-substrate interatomic interactions…
