Abstract

We used the Grand-Canonical Monte-Carlo technique (GCMC) to simulate the vapor deposition of carbon in the porosity of various zeolitic nanopores (Silicalite, AlPO4-5, faujasite). The carbon-carbon interactions were described within a Tight-Binding formalism (TB) and the carbon-matrix interactions were assumed to be physisorption. Depending on the pore size and topology, various carbon structures can be obtained.
