Dear Stefano, Eyvaz and Mike,<br>Thanks for your reply. I follow this procedure and get Young's Modulus for CNT (3,3):<br>1) relax the structure.<br>2) compressed the structure in Z direction (parallel to the axis of nanotube) and calculate "Force" between atoms and then calculate the Young's Modulus by using it's definition ( E=(F/A)/((L-L0)/L0) ). The result has "good" agreement with reported one. <br>
But one of my friend work with Abinit. Abinit can calculate elastic constant in a systematic way.<br>Dr. Eyvaz Isaev thanks for the link.<br><br> <br> <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 5:09 PM, Mike Mehl <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Michael.Mehl@nrl.navy.mil">Michael.Mehl@nrl.navy.mil</a>></span> wrote:<br>
