The equation is valid for both strong and weak atom-vacuum-field coupling. By solving it numerically, we demonstrate the inapplicability of weak-coupling-based van der Waals interaction models in a close vicinity of the nanotube surface.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-04-08T15:17:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "van der waals energy", "doped carbon nanotubes", "strong atom-field coupling", "van der waals interaction models" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
