Thermal stability of the solidlike and liquidlike phases of (C60)(sub n) clusters

Article Abstract:

Thermal stability of the solidlike and liquidlike phases of (C60)(sub n) clusters is investigated using MonteCarlo (MC) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and extensive simulation results on the finite temperature behavior of small clusters of C60 molecules. A clear definition of the boiling energy and the confirmation that the largest 13-molecule cluster sublimes molecules as soon as it melts is provided by the results of the phase space theory (PST).

Random networks of single-walled carbon nanotubes

Article Abstract:

The simple-assembled two dimensional random networks composed of isolated SWNTs are obtained by a simple floating catalyst CVD method. The conclusion states that the deposited SWNTs constituting the networks are isolated rather than in bundles and this result should be help for improving the preparation technique and exploring the formation mechanism of SWNTs.

Reversible, band-gap-selective protonation of single-walled carbon nanotubes in solution

Article Abstract:

The example of the rich and diverse chemical behavior of carbon nanotubes as distinct chemical entities in solution is provided. Chemical specificity toward nanotube electronic structure is the first such systematically reversible reaction pathway identified for nanotubes in solution.
