Abstract

We investigated a nanoscale inertia sensor based on telescoping carbon nanotubes, using classical molecular dynamics simulations. The position of the telescoping nanotubes is controlled by the centrifugal force exerted by the rotation platform, thus, position shifts are determined by the capacitance between carbon nanotubes and the electrode, and the operating frequency of the carbon nanotube oscillator. This measurement system, tracking oscillations of the carbon nanotube oscillator, can be used as the sensor for numerous types of devices, such as motion detectors, accelerometers and acoustic sensors.
