Atomistic potentials and the Cauchy-Born rule for carbon nanotubes: a review

From MaRDI portal

Abstract: Carbon nanotubes are modeled as point particle configurations in the framework of Molecular Mechanics, where interactions are described by means of short range attractive-repulsive potentials. The identification of local energy minimizers yields a variational description for the stability of rolled-up hexagonal-lattice structures. Optimality of periodic configurations is preserved under moderate tension, hence justifying the elastic behavior of carbon nanotubes in the axial traction regime.
