Cover Story: The empirical observation of dynamically evolving carbon nanotube (CNT) clusters is exceptionally difficult. A methodology is presented to characterize a large cluster of individual single-walled CNTs with atomic resolution, using hierarchical molecular dynamic simulations to create initial cluster topologies that further enables high-fidelity simulation-based research. The methodology does not rely upon physical nucleation to build individual CNTs, and thus mitigates considerable computational intensity while still preserving the spatial fidelity of the carbon nanotube shapes and behaviors. Qualitative agreement is shown compared to electron microscopy images, including the presence of physical defects in the nanotubes, such as buckling, crimping, and fusing. View this paper
