Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We have performed the molecular dynamics simulations for the free cholesterol cluster and the same cluster located near the carbon nanotube. We have found that the cholesterol molecules quite evenly cover the surface of single walled armchair (10, 10) carbon nanotube, forming the molecular layer. Moreover, the characteristic alignment of cholesterol molecules within the layer (along the nanotube) is observed. The comparison of the structural and dynamical observable characterizing cholesterol molecule is presented and discussed, both for the cluster with and without the presence of the nanotube. |
