In this work we have examined the possible formation of a junction between two identical C(10,0) carbon nanotubes. One of the tubes was rotated 90 degrees with respect to the other. Simulation have been performed by means of a molecular-dynamics technique at 1K. For this purpose, we have introduced two stiff layers of graphite positioned above and below the nanotubes. By moving these layers we have created an effective force pushing the tubes closer to each other. In this simulation we have used a semi-empirical many-body potential for carbon.

Simulation of crystallization and glass formation processes for binary Pd-Ag metal alloys Kart, HH; Uludogan, M; Cagin, T; Tomak, Mehmet (2003-09-12) Glass formation and crystallization process of Pd-Ag metallic alloys are investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulation. This simulation uses the quantum Sutton-Chen (Q-SC) potential to study structural and transport properties of Pd-Ag alloys. Cooling rates and concentration effects on the glass formation and crystallization of binary alloys considered in this work are investigated. Pd-Ag alloys show the glass structure at fast cooling rates while it crystallizes at slow cooling rates. Increment of...
From carbon nanotubes to carbon nanorods Erkoç, Şakir (2000-09-01) The structural properties of single and multi-wall carbon nanotubes and the formation of carbon nanorods from multi-wall carbon nanotubes have been investigated by performing molecular-dynamics computer simulations. Calculations have been realized by using an empirical many-body potential energy function for carbon. It has been found that carbon nanorod formation takes place with smallest possible multi-wall nanotubes under heat treatment. On the other hand, it has been also found that single-wall carbon na...
Stability of C-60 chains: molecular dynamics simulations Malcıoğlu, Osman Barış (2005-01-01) A linearly aligned structure of three C-60 fullerene, interconnected by two benzorods of same size, have been investigated under heat treatment. The overall structure resembles a section of a beaded string. Nine different lengths of benzorods have been considered, and the effect on the thermal stability have been investigated by means of molecular dynamics method. It has been found that the structure is thermally stable up to elevated temperatures, and the linear alignment of the structure is persistent, up...
Effect of chirality on the stability of carbon nanotubes : Molecular-dynamics simulations Erkoc, S; Malcıoğlu, Osman Barış (2001-07-01) The effect of chirality on the structural stability of single-wall carbon nanotubes have been investigated by performing molecular-dynamics computer simulations. Calculations have been realized by using an empirical many-body potential energy function for carbon. It has been found that carbon nanotube in chiral structure is more stable under heat treatment relative to zigzag and armchair models. The diameter of the tubes is slightly enlarged under heat treatment.
Molecular-dynamics simulation of radiation damage on copper clusters Erkoç, Şakir (2000-07-01) The effect of radiation damage on copper clusters has been investigated by performing molecular-dynamics simulation using empirical potential energy function for interaction between copper atoms. The external radiation is modeled by giving extra kinetic energy in the range of 5- 50 eV to initially chosen atom in the cluster. It has been found that the atom having extra kinetic energy dissociates independently from the amount of given energy in the studied range.
