Abstract
We report the conceptual construction of a one-way nanovalve based on a carbon nanotube intramolecular junction and a C60. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrate the flow behavior of helium through the nanovalve as controlled by the pressure balance around C60. The van der Waals interaction between C60 and carbon nanotube keeps C60 close to the junction, while the pressure balance around C60 can juggle it between two adsorption sites, which in turn closes or opens the nanovalve.
