The oscillatory damped behavior of double wall carbon nanotube oscillators in gaseous environment
【摘要】 The mechanical oscillatory behaviors of multiwall carbon nanotube oscillators in gaseous environment are investigated using the molecular dynamics method. The effects of ambient gas and temperature on intertube frictional force and oscillation frequency are analyzed. It is found that the intertube frictional force increases with the ambient gas density and temperature. Higher gas density and higher tem- perature cause a more rapid decay in the oscillation amplitude and an increase of the oscillation fre- quency. Compared to the vacuum environmental condition, the collision between gas atoms and the nanotube walls is a main ingredient leading to the increase of the energy dissipation. Gas damping may be the main reason for the failure of carbon nanotube oscillators working in gas environment. The am- bient temperature also has an important effect on oscillations and low temperature is advantageous to sustain oscillations.
