Abstract

Oscillatory behavior of novel heterogeneous oscillators composed of carbon and molybdenum disulfide nanotubes (CNT@MST) was investigated for the first time, by using the methods of classical molecular dynamics. In the proposed oscillators, a molybdenum disulfide nanotube (MST) was set as an outer tube, leading to better compatibility with the semiconductor industry standards. A smooth and stable oscillator with a frequency reaching 20 GHz was obtained based on a double-walled CNT@MST hetero-nanotube for a wide range of gap widths, indicating that the proposed oscillators perform much better than those built from double-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) that require a narrow range of gap widths. In addition, the oscillation characteristics of CNT@MST oscillators containing different inner and outer tube chirality were significantly better than those of CNT@MST oscillators containing two tubes with the same chirality.
