A study on mechanical strength and stability of partially-fused carbon nanotube junctions
A systematic approach has been developed to generate and predict failure strengths of single-walled carbon nanotube (CNT) junctions with various sets of non-hexagonal defects (i.e., five-, seven-, eight-membered carbon rings). Each generated junction is optimized using molecular mechanics combined w...
