摘要
The properties related to mechanical wave propagation in carbon nanotubes support advanced applications as nano-mechanical resonators. This study deals with molecular dynamics simulations of cantilevered carbon nanotubes considered as mass detectors. The shift of the resonance frequency is calculated versus the attached extra-mass to carbon nanotubes model of 2200 atoms. We found that the modified Morse potential leads to the mass detection limit of 7.5 x 10(-22) g and to a high efficiency computation needed for large atomistic models. The influence on the frequency shift determined by the position of the extra-mass along the single-walled carbon nanotubes was taken into account.
