Free-standing carbon nanomembranes (CNM) with molecular thickness and macroscopic size are fascinating objects both for fundamental reasons and for applications in nanotechnology. Although being made from simple and identical precursors their internal structure is not fully known and hard to simulate due to the large system size that is necessary to draw definite conclusions. We performed large-scale classical molecular dynamics investigations of biphenyl-based carbon nanomembranes. We show that one-dimensional graphene-like stripes constitute a highly symmetric quasi one-dimensional ground state. This state does not crosslink. Instead crosslinked structures are formed from highly excited precursors with a sufficient amount of broken phenyls. The internal structure of CNM is very likely a disordered metastable state which is formed in the process of cooling.

The heat flux autocorrelation functions of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with different radius and lengths is calculated using equilibrium molecular dynamics. The thermal conductance of CNTs is also calculated using the Green-Kubo relation from the linear
response theory. By pointing out the ambiguity in the cross section definition of single wall CNTs, we use the thermal conductance instead of conductivity in calculations and discussions. We find that the thermal conductance of CNTs diverges with the CNT length. After the analysis of vibrational density of states, it can be concluded that more low frequency vibration modes exist in longer CNTs, and they effectively contribute to the divergence of thermal conductance.
By using molecular dynamics simulation, formation mechanisms of amorphous carbon in particular sp${}^3$ rich structure was researched. The problem that reactive empirical bond order potential cannot represent amorphous carbon properly was cleared in
the transition process from graphite to diamond by high pressure and the deposition process of amorphous carbon thin films. Moreover, the new potential model which is based on electron distribution simplified as a point charge was developed by using downfolding method. As a result, the molecular dynamics simulation with the new potential could demonstrate the transition from graphite to diamond at the pressure of 15 GPa corresponding to experiment and the deposition of sp${}^3$ rich amorphous carbon.
Oriented block copolymers exhibit a buckling instability when submitted to a tensile test perpendicular to the lamellae direction. In this paper we study this behavior using a coarse grained molecular dynamics simulation approach. Coarse grained mode
ls of lamellar copolymers with alternate glassy rubbery layers are generated using the Radical Like Polymerization method, and their mechanical response is studied. For large enough systems, uniaxial tensile tests perpendicular to the direction of the lamellae reveal the occurrence of the buckling instability at low strain. The results that emerge from molecular simulation are compared to an elastic theory of the buckling instability introduced by Read and coworkers. At high strain rates, significant differences are observed between elastic theory and simulation results for the buckling strain and the buckling wavelength. We explain this difference by the strain rate dependence of the mechanical response. A simple model that takes into account the influence of the strain rate in the mechanical response is presented to rationalize the results at low and moderate strain rates. At very high strain rates, cavitation takes place in the rubbery phase of the sample and limits the validity of the approach.
We theoretically studied the electronic and electrical properties of metallic and semiconducting peapods with encapsulated C_{60} (C_{60}@CNT) as a function of the carbon nanotube (CNT) diameter. For exothermic peapods (CNT diameter > 11.8 A), only m
inor changes, ascribed to a small structural deformation of the nanotube walls, were observed. These include a small electron charge transfer (less than 0.10 electron) from the CNT to the C_{60} molecules and a poor mixing of the C_{60} orbitals with those of the CNT. Decreasing the diameter of the nanotube leads to a modest increase of the charge density located between the C_{60}s. More significant changes are obtained for endothermic peapods (CNT diameter < 11.8 A). We observe a large electron charge transfer from C_{60} to the tube, and a drastic change in electron transport characteristics and electronic structure. These results are discussed in terms of pi-pi interaction and C_{60} symmetry breaking.
