Water Ordering by Confinement in Carbon Nanotubes at 300K: Implications for possible design of proton-conducting nano-semiconductors

Mashl R.J., Joseph S., Aluru N.R., Jakobsson E., University of Illinois, US

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations suggest that water readily enters carbon nanotubes. This is also suggested by the fact that fluorescence in nanotubes is affected by the pH of external electrolyte. Distinctive symmetrical water structures emerge [...]

Molecular Electronics: The Experimentalist’s View

Tsui R., Motorola, US

In the last few years, significant experimental advances have been achieved in the utilization of nanoscale molecular components for electronic applications. A variety of materials, including carbon nanotubes, custom-synthesized organic molecules, metallic nanoparticles, and biological [...]
