Amorphous carbon nanorods as a precursor for carbon nanotubes
The transformation of amorphous carbon nanorods into multi-wall nanotubes is studied using molecular dynamics. The effect of the density, width and shape of the initial nanorod is investigated. High-temperature annealing simulations show that the transformation is a robust process which occurs at al...
