Long-Range Interactions in Quasi-One Dimensional Cylindrical Structures

Tatur K., Woods L.M., University of South Florida, US

Casimir forces originating from vacuum fluctuations of the electromagnetic fields are of increasing importance in many scientific and technological areas. The manifestations of these long-range forces at the nanoscale have led to the need of [...]

Electronic structure of single wall carbon nanotubes under transverse external electric fields, radial deformations and defects

Shtogun Y.V., Woods L.M., University of South Florida, US

Our tight-binding results show that energy gap modulations of radially deformed carbon nanotubes by external electric field can be achieved using various field amplitudes and field orientations, and deformation strengths, thus proving many more capabilities [...]
