Heat conduction of a real quasi-one dimensional material, the finite length carbon nanowire (CNW), inserted into the single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) has been studied by the molecular dynamical (MD) method, in which both of the longitudinal as well as transverse motions of the chain atoms in the SWNT have been permitted. It is found that the thermal conductivity $kappa $ of the carbon nanowire is very high at room temperature, and diverges more likely with the chain length logarithmically.

The electronic conduction of a novel, three-terminal molecular architecture, analogous to a heterojunction bipolar transistor is studied. In this architecture, two diode arms consisting of donor-acceptor molecular wires fuse through a ring, while a g
ate modulating wire is a pi-conjugated wire. The calculated results show the enhancement or depletion mode of a transistor by applying a gate field along the positive or negative direction. A small gate field is required to switch on the current in the proposed architecture. The changes in the electronic conduction can be attributed to the intrinsic dipolar molecular architecture in terms of the evolution of molecular wavefunctions, specifically the one associated with the terphenyl group of the modulating wire in the presence of the gate field.
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.
We have performed parameter-free calculations of electron transport across a carbon molecular junction consisting of a C$_{60}$ molecule sandwiched between two semi-infinite metallic carbon nanotubes. It is shown that the Landauer conductance of this
carbon hybrid system can be tuned within orders of magnitude not only by varying the tube-C$_{60}$ distance, but more importantly at fixed distances by i) changing the orientation of the Buckminsterfullerene or ii) rotating one of the tubes around its cylinder axis. Furthermore, it is explicitely shown that structural relaxation determines qualitatively the transmission spectrum of such devices.
Recent air pollution issues have raised significant attention to develop efficient air filters, and one of the most promising candidates is that enabled by nanofibers. We explore here selective molecular capture mechanism for volatile organic compoun
ds in carbon nanotube networks by performing atomistic simulations. The results are discussed with respect to the two key parameters that define the performance of nanofiltration, i.e. the capture efficiency and flow resistance, which validate the advantage of carbon nanotube networks with high surface-to-volume ratio and atomistically smooth surfaces. We also reveal the important roles of interfacial adhesion and diffusion that govern selective gas transport through the network.
We present a comprehensive study of the properties of the off-resonant conductance spectrum in oligomer nanojunctions between graphitic electrodes. By employing first-principle-based methods and the Landauer approach of quantum transport, we identify
how the electronic structure of the molecular junction components is reflected in electron transport across such systems. For virtually all energies within the conduction gap of the corresponding idealised polymer chain, we show that: a) the inverse decay length of the tunnelling conductance is intrinsically defined by the complex-band structure of the molecular wire despite ultrashort oligomer lengths of few monomer units, and b) the contact conductance crucially depends on both the local density of states on the metal side and the realised interfacial contact.
