Carbon is an element with extremely versatile bonding properties and theoretical
calculations have suggested the possible existence of several hundred structural allotropes …

Carbon nanotubes were discovered soon after the successful laboratory synthesis of
fullerenes. Since their discovery in 1991, there has been intensive research activity in the …

We present classical molecular dynamics simulations demonstrating that single-wall carbon
nanotube (SWNT) bundles collapse under hydrostatic pressure. The collapse pressures …

This review of Raman spectroscopy covers the two-year period from late 1997 through late
1999. The previous two-year period has been comprehensively reviewed (1). There …

An optically homogeneous solution/dispersion of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in
oleum has been used to form isotropic films exhibiting fibrillar morphology. Tensile modulus …

Research and literature on nanomaterials has exploded in volume in recent years.
Nanotubes (both of carbon and inorganic materials) can be made in a variety of ways, and …

We have investigated pressure-induced Raman peak shifts for various carbon
nanostructures with distinct differences in the degree of structural order. The high-frequency …

We investigated the hydrostatic and shear strain components introduced in the graphite
hexagons by applying hydrostatic pressure to single-walled carbon nanotubes. The …

The analysis of the radial collapse of individualized and isolated single-wall carbon
nanotubes under high pressure as function of their diameter, d, distinguishes their …

Carbon nanotubes tend to collapse when their diameters exceed a certain threshold, or
when a sufficiently large external pressure is applied on their walls. The radial stability of …
