Funded Activity Summary
Accelerated Molecular Simulations for Selective Carbon Nanotube Growth. Carbon nanotubes have remarkable electronic and optical properties that are determined precisely by their atomic structure, or ‘chirality’. Development of future carbon nanotube-based technologies is currently prevented by our inability to synthesise particular carbon nanotubes selectively, and this is because the factors that enable selective synthesis remain unknown. This project will develop and use accelerated molecular simulations to determine the factors that enable selective synthesis of particular carbon nanotubes. These simulations will enable targeted carbon nanotube growth, and in doing so will pave the way for the future development of carbon nanotube-based technologies.Funded Activity Details
