Simulation
of the Growth of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotubes
This project is conducted by the joint efforts of
Project Final Report
The project was to develop a finite element method
for simulating nanotube growth. Two kinds of simulations were performed; in
the first case no electric field is considered while in the second case the
growth happens under the effect of electric field.
The goals of this project were:
-Gain experience generating a
numerical method to simulate nanotube growth.
-Develop a better understanding
of the physics.
