Self-assembly of a nanotube from a black phosphorus nanoribbon on a string of fullerenes at low temperature
Literature Information
Jiao Shi, Ling-Nan Liu, Qing-Hua Qin
A string of fullerenes is used for generating a nanotube by self-assembly of a black phosphorus (BP) nanoribbon at a temperature of 8 K. Among the fullerenes in the string, there are at least two fixed fullerenes placed along the edge of the BP ribbon for keeping its configuration stability during winding. By way of molecular dynamics simulations, it is found that successful generation of a BP nanotube depends on the bending stiffness of the ribbon and the attraction between the fullerenes and the ribbon. When the attraction is strong enough, the two edges (along the zigzag direction) of the BP ribbon will be able to bond covalently to form a nanotube. By the molecular dynamics approach, the maximum width of the BP ribbon capable of forming a nanotube with a perfect length is investigated in three typical models. The maximum width of the BP ribbon becomes larger with the string containing more fullerenes. This finding reveals a way to control the width of the BP ribbon which forms a nanotube. It provides guidance for fabricating a BP nanotube with a specified length, the same as to the width of the ribbon.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
