Molecular dynamics simulations of the transformation of carbon peapods into double-walled carbon nanotubes

The transformation of carbon peapods (encapsulated fullerenes in nanotubes) into doublewalled nanotubes was studied using molecular dynamics simulation. The simulations reproduce the two main trends known experimentally: the production of low-defect nanotubes and the templating effect of the outer t...
