The thermal properties of a half-defective single-walled carbon nanotube, and one-dimensional (1D) nonlinear lattices were investigated to unveil the mechanism of defect-induced thermal rectification. We propose a model of an asymmetrically defective low-dimensional material to explain the underlying mechanism of thermal rectification obtained in a past experiment in which C9H16Pt was asymmetrically deposited on a nanotube. These numerical approaches show the applicability of asymmetrically defective low-dimensional material to solid-state thermal rectification.

The shapes of DNA, carbon nanotube (CNT) and vesicle are determined by the minimum of their elastic energy. Two central results about the low-dimensional elastic structure are reported here. Firstly, if the energy density of a one-dimensional structure is only related to its curvature, we generally find that a helix solution with the helix angle θ = ±π/4 will have zero total energy. Secondly, with the fixed length and radii, the helical multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and DNA will have the lowest energy when the helix angle θ = ±π/3.

We systematically investigate the effects of an axial electric field on the formation and decomposition of quasi-one-dimensional nitrogen gas hydrates within a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) by using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.

Liquid 3He injected in a carbon nanotube is of high interests due to different behavior of the liquid helium in the quasi-one-dimensional systems. In this work, a variational approach has been performed to calculate some thermodynamic properties of this quantum system. In order to do so, a single-walled carbon nanotube containing liquid 3He is considered, applying the Lennard-Jones and Stan–Cole potentials for 3He–3He and 3He–C interactions, respectively. Finally the total energy, equation of state and incompressibility of the system have been calculated. Our calculations show the high values for the incompressibility at high densities, especially for high radii.
