Stability of Carbon Nanotori under Heat Treatment: Molecular-Dynamics Simulations

The structural stability of carbon nanotori have been investigated by performing molecular-dynamics simulations. The systems considered are C 170 , C 250 , C 360 , C 520 and C 750 tori, which have been constructed using a recently developed algorithm based on the idea of Fonseca et al. Calculations,...

Description
Summary:The structural stability of carbon nanotori have been investigated by performing molecular-dynamics simulations. The systems considered are C 170 , C 250 , C 360 , C 520 and C 750 tori, which have been constructed using a recently developed algorithm based on the idea of Fonseca et al. Calculations, have been realized by using an empirical many-body potential energy function for carbon. It has been found that all the nanotori considered are stable under heat treatment.
