Structure and phase stability of novel 'twisted' crystal structures in carbon nanotubes

The stability of novel, low dimensional, crystal structures formed by a simple alkali halide (KI) in single-walled carbon nanotubes are investigated using a simple computer simulation model. 'Twisted' crystals, not clearly related to the bulk structure, and found to form dynamically in spe...
