Structural properties of diamond nanorods: molecular-dynamics simulations

2003-05-01
The structural properties of carbon nanorods obtained from diamond crystal have been investigated by performing molecular-dynamics computer simulations. Calculations have been realized by using an empirical many-body potential energy function for carbon. Diamond nanorods have been generated from three low-index planes of diamond crystal. It has been found that the average coordination number, cross-section geometry, and surface orientation from which the nanorod is generated play a role in the stability of diamond nanorods under heat treatment. The most stable diamond nanorod has been obtained from the (111) surface.

Erkoç, Şakir; Vural, DC (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2001-06-01)
The structural stability of carbon nanocages, fullerens and toroids, have been investigated by performing molecular-dynamics computer simulations. The systems considered are C-120 and C-240 in ball and toroidal structures. Calculations have been realized by using an empirical many-body potential energy function for carbon. It has been found that C-120 ball is very unstable, and the other structures are relatively more strong against heat treatment.

Thermal stability of Benzorod arrays: Molecular-dynamics simulations
Malcıoğlu, Osman Barış (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2005-05-01)
A set of Benzorod arrays on a graphene substrate has been investigated by performing classical molecular-dynamics simulations. Benzorod is composed of aligned and dehydrogenated benzene rings that are stacked to form a rod-like structure. It has been found that the arrays considered axe thermally stable up to elevated temperatures, with a dependence on length.
