摘要: Abstract The stability of novel, low dimensional, crystal structures formed by a simple alkali halide (KI) in single-walled carbon nanotubes are investigated using computer simulation model. ‘Twisted’ crystals, not clearly related to the bulk structure, and found form dynamically specific tube diameters, investigated. A phase diagram for confined as function nanotube pore size is calculated. Specific ranges diameters shown favour these unique over directly those adopted halide. high resolution transmission electron microscopy pattern an example stable twisted simulated.
