Abstract: On the basis of the continuum approximation along with Lennard–Jones potential function, new semianalytical expressions are presented to evaluate the van der Waals interactions between an ellipsoidal fullerene and a ...

Abstract: There are many new nanomechanical devices created based on carbon nanostructures among which gigahertz oscillators have generated considerable interest to many researchers. In the present paper, the oscillatory behavior ...

Abstract: This paper aims to present a thorough investigation into the mechanics of a C60 fullerene oscillating within the center of a carbon nanotube bundle. To model this nanoscale oscillator, a continuum approximation is used ...

Abstract: Cisplatin is one of the most widely prescribed chemotherapy drugs to treat different types of cancers. However, this anticancer drug has a number of side effects such as kidney and nerve damages, anaphylactic reactions, ...
