Molecular dynamics simulation of carbon nanotube growth under a tensile strain

Abstract We performed molecular dynamics simulations of carbon nanotube (CNT) to elucidate the growth process in the floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition method (FCCVD). FCCVD has two features: a nanometer-sized cementite (Fe $$_3$$ 3 C) particle whose melting point is depressed because of th...
