Formation of, and ion-transport in, low-dimensional crystallites in carbon nanotubes.

摘要: The formation of low-dimensional crystal structures, obtained by filling carbon nanotubes from the molten salts, is considered for three stoichiometries (the MX, MX2 and MX3). For MX stoichiometry, general classes inorganic nanotube (INT) are predicted to exist whose morphology depends both on low-energy (bulk) structure encasing diameter. These INTs generally found have no direct bulk analogues. MX3 structures which either a analogue, or can be as distortion fragment. In these unusual (high anion coordination) crystallites predicted. stoichiometry ion transport mechanism investigated discussed, whilst vibrational densities states analysed with respect pure liquid idealized crystallites.
