Abstract

We have performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the system composed of a single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) surrounded by thin film of: a) cholesterol plus water and, b) cholesterol. The translational and rotational correlation functions and their Fourier transforms for both cholesterol and water molecules have been calculated for several temperatures and concentrations. The interpretation of translational and rotational dynamics of both cholesterol and water molecules in such specific environment is presented.
