摘要: 提出了关于金属型碳纳米管在电场中变形的柱壳理论.借助于半球模型,得到了金属型碳纳米管在电场中的电荷与电场分布的解析解.将带电碳原子所受的电场力看作是碳纳米管的内力,根据柱壳理论碳纳米管在电场中的变形被解析地给出.结果表明:碳纳米管的长径比对碳纳米管在电场中的变形有重大影响,长径比越大,碳纳米管的变形越明显;碳纳米管的径向变形沿轴向是不均匀的,最大的径向变形出现于碳纳米管的端部;更为有意义的是,即使外加电场不够大,对于长径比很大的碳纳米管仍然可以表现出明显的变形.Abstract: The electromechanical properties of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in the electric field are demonstrated via a column shell model. A model of hemisphere was in troduced to determine the charge distribution and localelectric field on SWCNTs. It is shown that, regarding the SWCNT's an elastic column shell, the analytical solutions of charged SWCNT's axial strain and radial strain are obtained. Single-walled carbon nanotubes with higher aspectratio can show greater deformation and the greatestradial deformation appears at the end of the tube, and significant axial strain can be induced in CNTs with long length (around 100 nm) even though the applied electric field is not strong enough; when the SWCNTs are fixed at both ends the radius of SWCNTs become smaller along axial position. These results redound to our understanding of metallic SWCNTs electrom echanical properties in the electric field and SWCNTs applications on nanoelectronic device and nanoelectrom echanical systems.
