High energy particle channeling in nanotubes

Application of water–activated carbon isotherm models to water adsorption isotherms of single-walled carbon nanotubes

“…In particular, the adsorption of water onto carbon nanotubes may become an important issue in realizing potential applications of nanotubes for electronic devices [1], energy storage [2], and drug delivery [3]. Of the recently discovered nanocarbons, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are the most attractive materials.…”

<title>X-ray production and high energy physics experiments with carbon nanotubes</title>

“…4a. High energy particle bending and focusing These processes have been mentioned still in 4,25 and further considered in the works 5,[26][27][28][29][30][31][32] analytically and with the help of computer simulations. The advantages of NTs compared with crystals are conditioned by the facts that in bent nanotubes the particle motion is limited in two dimensions, the channeling fractions are larger and the dechanneling length is longer.…”

“…In the works 3,4 it has been calculated the potential of the (10,10) single wall nanotubes (SWNT) using Moliere model for the carbon atoms, after some approximation analytically found the channeled particle trajectories and for the first time discussed such applications of NTs as the bending, focusing, acceleration and colliders of particles channeled in NTs.…”

Image potential in the interaction of fast ions with carbon nanotubes: A comparison between the one- and two-fluid hydrodynamic models

“…It has been demonstrated that one of the possible applications may be to use carbon nanotubes to efficiently guide charged-particle beams [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] in the way very similar to crystal channeling. However, the experimental study of ion channeling through carbon nanotubes is still in the initial phase.…”
