| pubmed:abstractText |
The torsional plastic response of single-walled carbon nanotubes is studied with tight-binding objective molecular dynamics. In contrast with plasticity under elongation and bending, a torsionally deformed carbon nanotube can slip along a nearly axial helical path, which introduces a distinct (+1,-1) change in wrapping indexes. The low energy realization occurs without loss in mass via nucleation of a 5-7-7-5 dislocation dipole, followed by glide of 5-7 kinks. The possibility of nearly axial glide is supported by the obtained dependence of the plasticity onset on chirality and handedness and by the presented calculations showing the energetic advantage of the slip path and of the initial glide steps.
