A second-generation reactive empirical bond order (REBO) potential energy expression for hydrocarbons
Donald W. Brenner,Olga Shenderova,Judith A. Harrison,Steven J. Stuart,Boris Ni,Susan B. Sinnott +5 more
TL;DR: Brenner as mentioned in this paper presented a second generation potential energy function for solid carbon and hydrocarbon molecules that is based on an empirical bond order formalism, allowing for covalent bond breaking and forming with associated changes in atomic hybridization within a classical potential, producing a powerful method for modelling complex chemistry in large many-atom systems.
Mechanics of carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: The theoretical predictions and the experimental techniques that are most often used for the challenging tasks of visualizing and manipulating these tiny structures are reviewed and the computational approaches taken, including ab initio quantum mechanical simulations, classical molecular dynamics, and continuum models are outlined.
Mechanical properties of nanotubule fibers and composites determined from theoretical calculations and simulations
TL;DR: Theoretical Young's moduli have been estimated for carbon fibers composed of single-walled fullerene nanotubules aligned in the direction of the tubule axis as discussed by the authors.

Molecular building blocks and development strategies for molecular nanotechnology
TL;DR: In this paper, a class of molecular building blocks (MBBs) is defined as a set of atoms which can be synthesized and positioned using existing (or soon to be developed) methods, such as self-assembly and positional assembly.

Empirical potential for hydrocarbons for use in simulating the chemical vapor deposition of diamond films
TL;DR: An empirical many-body potential-energy expression is developed for hydrocarbons that can model intramolecular chemical bonding in a variety of small hydrocarbon molecules as well as graphite and diamond lattices based on Tersoff's covalent-bonding formalism with additional terms that correct for an inherent overbinding of radicals.

Hydrocarbon Bond Dissociation Energies
TL;DR: The best available values for homolytic bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of various classes of neutral compounds are considered in a review as mentioned in this paper, focusing on prototypical radicals whose heats of formation, formerly thought to be well in hand, have recently been called into serious question.
