Conditions for escape of a rotor in a rotary nanobearing from short triple-wall nanotubes

Abstract In a short nanobearing system made from carbon nanotubes, the rotor with high rotational frequency may escape from the stator, which may cause a stability problem to the system of a nanodevice with such a nanobearing. In the present work, nanobearings with tri-walled nanotubes are investiga...
