Molecular dynamics with realistic many-body atomic potentials was used to study the growth of carbon nanotubes. Analysis of the bond switching and ring migration processes has led to an identification of tube growth mechanisms. Wide tubes, initially open, were found to grow straight maintaining an a
## Abstract The thermal conductivity of a (5, 5) carbon nanotube at room temperature is studied by nonβequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The thermal conductivity increases from 30 W/(mΒ·K) to 1000 W/(mΒ·K) as the tube length increases from 6 nm to 4 Β΅m. It is proportional to the tube length
