Tuning the Slide-Roll Motion Mode of Carbon Nanotubes via Hydroxyl Groups

Abstract Controlling the motion of carbon nanotubes is critical in manipulating nanodevices, including nanorobots. Herein, we investigate the motion behavior of SWCNT (10,10) on Si substrate utilizing molecular dynamics simulations. We show that hydroxyl groups have sensitive effect on the carbon na...
