The physics of graphene is acting as a bridge between quantum field theory and condensed
matter physics due to the special quality of the graphene quasiparticles behaving as …

We review the current state of the polymer–carbon nanotube composites field. The article
first covers key points in dispersion and stabilization of nanotubes in a polymer matrix, with …

We calculate the electron-phonon scattering and binding in semiconducting carbon
nanotubes, within a tight-binding model. The mobility is derived using a multiband …

Current flow, considering a semiclassical electron–electric-field interaction and electron
scattering by acoustic phonons, is studied in semiconducting zig-zag carbon nanotubes. The …

(57) ABSTRACT A method to electronically modulate the energy gap and band-structure of
semiconducting carbon nanotubes is pro posed. Results show that the energy gap of a …

We show by ab initio calculations that the electron-phonon coupling matrix element M e-ph
of the radial breathing mode in single-walled carbon nanotubes depends strongly on tube …

SIESTA was developed as an approach to compute the electronic properties and perform
atomistic simulations of complex materials from first principles. Very large systems, with an …

Rubber composites containing multiwalled carbon nanotubes have been irradiated with
near-infrared light to study their reversible photomechanical actuation response. We …

Density-functional calculations of charge distribution on negatively and positively charged
nanotubes result in charge density profiles characterized by a significant increase of charge …

Joule heating in single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using a quantum mechanical
approach is presented in this paper. The modeling is based on the energy transfer between …
