摘要
We investigated tunable gigahertz-resonators, which is based on the application of a telescoped double-walled carbon-nanotube that can be used repeatedly and operate at a single frequency or have a relatively narrow frequency range, via classical molecular dynamics simulations of a double-walled carbon-nanotube. Two types of telescoped double-walled carbon-nanotube resonators were compared with each other; one was bridge-type and another was cantilever-type, and one side was connected to a position controller in order to achieve a telescoped carbon-nanotube. The frequency bandwidth of our cantilevered type design can exceed that of the bridged type. Our simulations showed that such a system can tune it up its resonance frequency by controlling the length of oscillating carbon-nanotube resonator. (C) 2011 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
