Molecular Aspects of Chemical Engineering

Hydrogen Bond Complex Above a Carbon Nanotube Tip

Description:

Five water molecules forming a H-bonded complex just above a carbon nanotube tip. The HOMO is confined to the nanotube only. The presence of polar water molecules enhances field-emission current from nanotube tip. Calculations performed with MS Modeling’s DMol3. (Image courtesy of Accelrys, www.accelrys.com.)
