Abstract

In this paper, we deal with the theoretical framework for a single-walled carbon nanotube serving as a virus or bacterium sensor, with the complicating influences of non-locality and surface effects taken into account. It is demonstrated that these effects are not negligible as is often assumed in the literature; they may greatly influence both the vibration behaviour as well as the identification process of the virus or bacterium. © 2013 The Author(s) Published by the Royal Society.
