Preface

This book describes the usage of a carbon nanotube channel as a nanodelivery system for copper atoms, in which the transportation of copper atoms is achieved through the application of electromigration. Apart from that, it also highlights the use of molecular dynamics simulations as a means for the investigation of the nanosystem. The steps involved in building the molecular dynamics simulation program is illustrated in this book, leading to an example showing the application of the molecular dynamics program, and the use of the program to investigate the carb
