The mechanical behavior of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), being fixed at both ends under uniaxial tensile loading, is investigated via the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation with the Tersoff interatomic potential. It is found that Young's modulus of the MWNTs is in the range between 0.85 and

## Abstract The mechanism of the nucleation and formation of singleβwalled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) was investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. When the initial state was chosen so that carbon and nickel atoms were randomly distributed in a simulation domain, the formation of a random ca
Molecular dynamics simulation was carried out to investigate the behavior of (5,5) and (10,10) armchair carbon nanotubes in water under tensile loading. The water molecules inside a nanoscale tube, unlike inside a bulk tube, have a confined effect. The local density distributions of oxygen and hydro
