Among all carbon nanostructured materials, helical nanosprings or nanocoils have attracted
particular interest as a result of their special mechanical behavior. Here, carbon nanosprings …

A structural model of carbon nanocoils (CNCs) on the basis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs)
was proposed. The Young's moduli and spring constants of CNCs were computed and …

A helical spring is one of the fundamental mechanical elements commonly used throughout
human history, whose deformation characteristic is well described by Hooke's law. Based on …

Externally powered magnetic nanomotors are of particular interest due to their potential use
for in vivo biomedical applications. Here we develop a theory for dynamics and polarization …

The perfect graphite and carbon nanotube (CNT) are composed of hexagonal rings of
carbon atoms. However, non-hexagonal rings like pentagons and heptagons usual exist in …

Nanotechnology is changing the world in a very big way, but at the atomic and sub-atomic
level. Although the roots of nanotechnology can be traced back to more than a century ago …

In this work, C 120-nanotorus, were decorated with Ti atoms, and structural, thermodynamic
and chemical properties were theoretical investigated using the Density Functional Theory …

Elastic behavior of carbon nanocoils is investigated through molecular dynamics
simulations. In particular, spring constants of various nanocoils are derived. To do so, first a …
