21. Hydrocarbon Diffusion in Mesoporous Carbon Materials: Implications for Unconventional Gas Recovery
Abstract : Methane diffusion in micro- and mesopores of carbonaceous materials is dominated by molecular interactions with the pore walls. As a consequence, the fluid molecules are mainly in a diffusive regime and the laws of fluid mechanics are not directly applicable...

18. Entropy driven stability of chiral single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Abstract : Single-walled carbon nanotubes are hollow cylinders that can grow centimeters long via carbon incorporation at the interface with a catalyst. They display semiconducting or metallic characteristics, depending on their helicity, which is determined during their growth...

16. Magnetism as indirect tool for carbon content assessment in nickel nanoparticles.
Abstract : Chemical vapor deposition synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes, using an Fe catalyst, and alternating methane and carbon monoxide as carbon feedstocks, leads to the reversible formation of junctions between tubes of different diameters. Combined with an atomistic modeling of the tube/catalyst interface...

15. Probing the role of carbon solubility in transition metal catalyzing single-walled carbon nanotubes growth.
Abstract : Metal catalysts supporting the growth of Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes display different carbon solubilities and chemical reactivities. In order to specifically assess the role of carbon solubility, we take advantage of the physical transparency of a tight binding model established for Ni-C alloys, to develop metal carbon models where all properties, except carbon solubility, are similar...
