Mechanisms of Nanoindentation on Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube and Nanotube Cluster
Nanoindentation is a promising technique for deducing the elastic property of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The paper presents an atomistic study on the nanoindentation mechanisms of single-walled and multiwalled CNTs and CNT clusters, through which the deformation characteristics are linked with CNT ela...
