We have performed the molecular dynamics simulations for the free cholesterol cluster and the same cluster located near the carbon nanotube. We have found that the cholesterol molecules quite evenly cover the surface of single walled armchair (10, 10) carbon nanotube, forming the molecular layer. Moreover, the characteristic alignment of cholesterol molecules within the layer (along the nanotube) is observed. The comparison of the structural and dynamical observable characterizing cholesterol molecule is presented and discussed, both for the cluster with and without the presence of the nanotube.
我们对游离胆固醇簇以及位于碳纳米管附近的相同簇进行了分子动力学模拟。我们发现胆固醇分子相当均匀地覆盖了单壁扶手椅型（10, 10）碳纳米管的表面，形成了分子层。此外，还观察到该层内胆固醇分子的特征排列（沿纳米管方向）。针对有和没有纳米管存在的簇，对表征胆固醇分子的结构和动力学可观测量进行了比较并加以讨论。
