The paper presents research results of structure of the Mullite system (3Al2O3.2SiO2) by  Molecular Dynamics simulation (MDs) using the Born–Mayer– Huggins pair interaction and periodic boundary conditions. The simulation is performed with model of 5250 atoms at different pressure and at 3500 K temperature. The structural properties of the system have been clarified through analysis of the pair radial distribution function, the distribution of coordination number, the bond angle and the link between adjacent TOx units.

By bending a straight carbon nanotube and bonding both ends of the nanotube, a nanoring (or nano-wheel) is produced. The nanoring system can be driven to rotate by fixed outer nanotubes at room temperature. When placing some atoms at the edge of each outer tube (the stator here) with inwardly radial deviation (IRD), the IRD atoms will repulse the nanoring in their thermally vibration-induced collision and drive the nanoring to rotate when the repulsion due to IRD and the friction with stators induce a non-zero moment about the axis of rotational symmetry of the ring. As such, the nanoring can act as a wheel in a nanovehicle. When the repulsion is balanced with the intertubular friction, a stable rotational frequency (SRF) of the rotor is achieved. The results from the molecular dynamics simulation demonstrate that the nanowheel can work at extremely low temperature and its rotational speed can be adjusted by tuning temperature.
