Title: Stability and shrinkage by diffusion of hollow nanotubes
Author/Creator: Evteev, A. V.; Levchenko, E. V.; Belova, I. V.; Murch, G. E.
Institution: The University of Newcastle. Faculty of Health, School of Biomedical Sciences
Description: The shrinkage via the vacancy mechanism of a mono–atomic nanotube is described. Using Gibbs–Thomson boundary conditions an exact solution is obtained of the kinetic equation in quasi steady–state at the linear approximation. A collapse time as a function of the size of a nanotube is determined. Kinetic Monte Carlo simulation is used to test the analytical analysis.
