The Adaptive Interactive Empirical Bond Order Potential (AIREBO), a reactive MD potential, was entirely reparameterized to incorporate F atoms. The empirical parameters are fitted to properties obtained by experiments or high-level quantum mechanical calculations. In addition, the AIREBO was made fully polarizable, i.e. the charges change depending on the change in their environment.
Cross junction of two single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) placed on an imaginary Lennard-Jones surface perpendicular to each other was bombarded by Ar atoms. The successive bombardments were performed through MD using the AIREBO potential. The optimum experimental conditions such as CNT types, annealing time and temperature and impact energy of Ar atom.
