Abstract
Structural and mechanical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) completely filled with bimetallic alloys are investigated using classic molecular dynamics method. Progresses on both synthesis and property researches of metal-filled carbon nanotubes are also comprehensively reviewed. Different initial equilibrium structures and buckling behaviors are exhibited for tubes filled with alloys of different species and compositions. The critical buckling strain of a SWCNT filled with mixed metals can be higher than that of the tube encapsulated with any pure component metals. Strong dependencies of buckling deformations on the initial random distributions of the encapsulated alloy metals are also reported.
