Unveiling the electron's motion in a carbon nanocoil

Unveiling the electron's motion in a carbon nanocoil Toyohashi, Japan (SPX) May 1, 2016 - Carbon nanocoils (CNCs) are an exotic class of low-dimensional nanocarbons whose helical shape may make them suitable for applications such as microwave absorbers and various mechanical components such as springs. Typical thicknesses and coil diameters of CNCs fall within the ranges of 100-400 nm and 400-1000 nm, respectively, and their full lengths are much larger, on the order of several tens ... more
