Shi S.Q., Liu W.C., Meng F.Y., The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, CN

Mechanical and thermal stability of carbon nanotube junctions was studied using molecular dynamics simulation method. Junctions made from armchair and zigzag thin carbon nanotubes were first formed by thermal welding process, then tested under 1D [...]
