Abstract

In this study, we introduce a comprehensive investigation into the buckling behavior of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using a combined approach of quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics methods. A novel aspect of our research lies in the exploration of the quantum effects of fine scaling on the buckling behavior of finite‐length nanotubes across various dimensions and chiralities. Specifically, we analyze the critical buckling strain variations in CNTs with distinct lengths, diameters, and chiralities, revealing pronounced differences influenced by atomic arrangement and the type of structure used in nanotube construction. Our findings elucidate that at smaller dimensions, nanotubes exhibit a higher critical buckling strain than other chiralities, while zigzag atomic arrangements demonstrate greater resistance to torsional loading at larger diameters. Additionally, we compare the buckling behavior of nanotubes obtained by wrapping armchair and zigzag nanosheets, highlighting differential resistance trends. This research not only underscores the critical role of quantum effects in determining nanotube buckling but also provides valuable insights into the nuanced influences of atomic arrangement and nanosheet type on the mechanical properties of CNTs. Thus, our work contributes a novel perspective to the field, bridging the gap between quantum mechanics and the mechanical behavior of nanostructures, which has significant implications for the design and application of nanoscale materials
