Influence of electron quantum confinement on the strength of carbon nanotube bundles
Radial confinement and specific boundary conditions lead to inhomogeneous spatial distributions for conduction electrons in metallic carbon nanotubes.Such uneven spread of negative charge on the surface of a carbon nanotube can induce Coulomb-type interactions between parallel tubes, contributing to...
