Interface Friction of Double-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Investigated Using Molecular Dynamics †

The interface friction characteristics of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) are studied using molecular dynamics simulations based on the Tersoff potential. The effects of the DWCNT type, outer shell diameter, and temperature are evaluated. The simulation results show that when an inner shell...
