Journal ArticleDOI

Carbon Structures with Three-Dimensional Periodicity at Optical Wavelengths

TL;DR: The carbon inverse opals provide examples of both dielectric and metallic optical photonic crystals that strongly diffract light and may provide a route toward photonic band-gap materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular-dynamics simulations of carbon nanotubes as gigahertz oscillators.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the first molecular dynamics simulation for these systems and show that these nano-oscillators are dynamically stable when the radii difference values between inner and outer tubes are of $\ensuremath{\sim}34\text{ }\AA{}$ Frequencies as large as 38 GHz were observed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Materials with Negative Compressibilities in One or More Dimensions

TL;DR: Rare crystal phases that expand in one or more dimensions when hydrostatically compressed are identified and shown to have negative Poisson's ratios, which may be used to fabricate porous solids that either expand in all directions when hydroStatically compressed with a penetrating fluid or behave as if they are incompressible.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sign Change of Poisson's Ratio for Carbon Nanotube Sheets

TL;DR: It is found that the in-plane Poisson's ratio of carbon nanotube sheets (buckypaper) can be tuned from positive to negative by mixing single-walled and multiwalled nanotubes, and density-normalized sheet toughness, strength, and modulus were substantially increased by this mixing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gigahertz nanomechanical oscillators based on carbon nanotubes

TL;DR: In this paper, molecular dynamics studies of carbon nanotubes as mechanical gigahertz oscillators were performed and it was shown that different oscillatory regimes exist but sustained oscillations are possible only when the radii difference values of the inner and outer tubes are.
