“…Three stages of evolution of the system composed of graphene nanoribbon and CNT have been revealed in the molecular dynamics study of a nanomotor [84]. CNS unwinding from CNT due to the CNT rotation has been studied numerically to demonstrate that the unwinding of CNS happens earlier when the CNT has a higher rotational speed or the system is at a higher temperature [85].…”

“…In nature, the ability to heal injury increases the survivability and lifetime of most plants and animals. In artificial fields, healing materials after damage or fracture for prolonging their life-span and reducing their costs has a dramatic impact on micro/nano-scopic fields, including biomedicine, [1][2][3][4][5][6] mechanics, [7][8][9][10][11][12] photonics, [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] and electronics. [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] Healing of microdefects (such as microcracks [32][33][34][35] and microscratches 15,[36][37][38] ) plays an important role in manufacture and maintenance of mechanic, electronic, and photonic micro-devices.…”

Healing defects of metallic structures is an essential procedure for manufacturing and maintaining integrated devices. Current nanocomposite-assisted microhealing methodologies are inadequate for nanoscopic applications because of their concomitant contamination and limited operation accuracy. In this paper, we propose an optically controllable targeted nanohealing technique by utilizing the plasmonic-enhanced photothermal effect. The healing of nanogaps between two silver nanowires (NWs) is achieved by increasing the incident laser power in steps. Partial connection of NWs can be readily obtained using this technique, while near-perfect connection of NWs with the same crystal orientations is obtained only when the lattices on the two opposing facets are matched after recrystallization. This non-contaminating nanohealing technique not only provides deeper insight into the heat/mass transfer assisted by plasmonic photothermal conversion in the nanoscale but also suggests avenues for recovering mechanical, electronic, and photonic properties of defected metallic nanodevices.

A thermal nanomotor is relatively easy to fabricate and regulate as it contains just a few or even no accessory devices. Since the double-wall carbon nanotube (CNT)-based rotary nanomotor was established in a thermostat, assessment of the rotation of the rotor (inner tube) in the stator (outer tube) of the nanomotor has been critical, but remains challenging due to two factors: the small size of the rotor (only a few nanometers) and the high rotational frequency (»1 GHz). To measure the rotation of the nanomotor, in the present study, a probe test method is proposed. Briefly, the rotor is connected to an end-tube (CNT) through a graphene (GN) nanoribbon. As the CNT-probe is on the trajectory of the end-tube which rotates with the rotor, it will collide with the end-tube. The sharp fluctuation indicating the probe tip deflection can be observed and recorded. As a curly GN by hydrogenation is adopted for connecting the rotor and the end-tube, collision between the end-tube and the probe tip occurs only when the centrifugal force is higher than a threshold which can be considered as the rotational frequency of the rotor being measured by the present method.
