Abstract:

Molecular dynamics was used to simulate the electron irradiation of two adjacent single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) via the Primary Knock-on Approximation. Temperature effects on the creation and evolution of defects were studied. The most prevalent defect was atomic vacancy which evolved into multi-vacancy over successive irradiation impacts. Cross linking was also observed. As temperature increased, mending of damage was promoted and the stability of bonds decreased. A new morphology of cross linking in the form of interconnecting carbon rings is presented.
