| Abstract | In this paper, we examine a carbon atom orbiting around the outside of a (6,6) carbon nanotube, where the orbiting phenomena is assumed to arise only from the van der Waals interactions between the carbon atom and the atoms on the surface of the carbon nanotube. We model the van der Waals forces utilizing the Lennard-Jones potential and assume that the carbon atoms are uniformly distributed over the surface of the carbon nanotube, so that a discrete sum of the atomic potential energy between the carbon atom and the molecule can be approximated by a line integral. The circular orbiting frequency of the system can be estimated by investigating the minimum energy configuration of the effective potential energy. An instability calculation is performed to ensure that the circular orbit remains stable, and the classification of the atompsilas possible loci is determined numerically. We find that the circular orbiting frequency of the proposed system reaches the gigahertz regime, which suggests that such a system has potential to be utilized as an ideal device in future technological development. We also briefly show that the results obtained from the above system can be extended to a fullerene orbiting around the outside of a carbon nanotube without conceptual difficulties, but with increased mathematical complexity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
