Chapter 1Introduction

Lim, Melvin Choon Giap; Zhong, ZhaoWei

Pages: 1 –5

[A carbon nanotube (CNT) is a fascinating nanostructure that has promising potentials for future applications. A CNT is a cylindrical tube made up of carbon atoms, and exists either as a single-walled structure known as a single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) or as a multilayered structure known as...

Chapter 2Building an MD Simulation Program

Lim, Melvin Choon Giap; Zhong, ZhaoWei

Pages: 7 –16

[In this chapter, we will focus on how to build a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation program using three important parameters for an atom: forces, velocities and positions. There are many different equations available for calculating the parameters of an atom in an MD simulation program,...

Chapter 3Sample of an Application of an MD Simulation Program

Lim, Melvin Choon Giap; Zhong, ZhaoWei

Pages: 17 –24

[The MD simulation program is a useful tool for carrying out analyses on a molecular system, in which the progressive changes of the molecular positioning and energy are described over the progression of time steps. Chapter 3 shows and explains how the MD simulation program can be applied and...

Chapter 4Carbon Nanotube Channels as Nanodelivery Systems

Lim, Melvin Choon Giap; Zhong, ZhaoWei

Pages: 25 –38

[The investigation of CNT channels as nanodelivery systems will be carried out in this chapter describing the translocation of copper atoms along these channels. We will be using the MD simulation as a tool to carry out the modelling and analyses for the CNT systems. The simulation conditions in...

Chapter 5Variation in Carbon Nanotube Channels as Nanodelivery Systems

Lim, Melvin Choon Giap; Zhong, ZhaoWei

Pages: 39 –47

[This section investigates a variety of CNT channels as nanodelivery systems by varying the sizes of the channels. MD simulations are performed to analyse the effect of the CNT channel junctions on the flow of copper atoms due to electromigration, and the effect of chirality on the flow behaviour...

Chapter 6Carbon Nanotube Chirality and the Flow Phenomena of Copper Atoms

Lim, Melvin Choon Giap; Zhong, ZhaoWei

Pages: 49 –58

[The last chapter of this book focuses on the investigation of the effect of the CNT chirality on the flow behaviour of copper atoms. The variation in the CNT channels is created using CNTs with different chirality. The purpose of creating the CNT channels with different chirality is to use these...
