Structural transition of tellurium encapsulated in confined one-dimensional nanospaces depending on the diameter
2015, Chemical Physics LettersCitation Excerpt :Figure 8d shows that crystalline Se is encapsulated preferentially in the CNT with a diameter of 4.5 nm. Previous theoretical studies [35,36] have reported that guest materials encapsulated in CNTs tend to be located off-center near the CNT wall because of the interaction between the guest materials and the CNT wall. The interaction can be modeled by Lennard–Jones potentials with parameters derived from the isoelectronic noble gas system [36,37], and it decreases as the inner diameter of the CNTs increases.
The structure of 1D and 3D CuI nanocrystals grown within 1.5-2.5 nm single wall carbon nanotubes obtained by catalyzed chemical vapor deposition
2012, CarbonCitation Excerpt :The structure of such nanocrystals has been reported to depend strongly on SWCNT diameter both with regards to their symmetry, bond lengths and bond angles. Molecular dynamics simulation for KI@SWCNTs [8,9] produced structural types for the range of nanotube diameters including twisted structures. Recently we have reported structure and electronic properties of one-dimensional CuI nanocrystals grown within 1.31–1.40 nm nanotubes obtained by the electric arc plasma method [10,11].
The melting and freezing of KI nanoparticles confined within zigzag single-walled carbon nanotubes based on molecular dynamics simulations
2012, Computational and Theoretical ChemistryCitation Excerpt :Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) encapsulated materials have exciting potential applications in science and technology of nanomaterials because of their novel structures and properties. Therefore, they have been the topics of many theoretical and experimental studies [1–14]. The confined environments of CNTs may result in low-dimensional structures of encapsulated materials similar to or different from those observed in the bulk.
