摘要
Pure carbon nanotube (CNT) oscillators are compared to the corresponding CNT oscillators encapsulating copper nanowires (Cu@CNTs) by molecular dynamics simulations. The classical oscillation theory provides a fairly good estimate of the mass dependence of the operating frequency when the CNT surface is not deformed by the Cu nanowire. The structural deformations of the CNT induced by the encapsulated copper nanowire have a greater effect on the oscillation frequency than the mass of the copper nanowire. The excess forces of the Cu@CNT oscillator are slightly higher than those of the CNT oscillator and the excess van der Waals forces induced by the inter-wall interactions are 17 times higher than the excess forces induced by the Cu nanowire-CNT interactions.
