This review covers recent achievements in the studies of quantum properties of the novel carbon materials (fullerite C60 and bundles of single-walled nanotubes (SWNT)) saturated with such light-mass species as helium isotopes, the homonuclear molecular hydrogens, and neon. It is shown that even some heavy dopants demon-strate kinetic phenomena, in which coherent effects play an essential role. Two theoretical concepts are surveyed which have been suggested for the explanation of the anomalous phenomena in saturation kinetics and linear thermal expansion of doped C60. Most unusual effects have been also observed in the low-temperature radial ex-pansion of bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes saturated with the helium isotopes. First, it was shown that low-temperature radial expansion of pure SWNT is negative, i.e., a nanotube shrinks with warming. Second, sa-turation of SWNT bundles with the helium isotopes entails a huge increase of the negative expansion effect, when the dopant is He. So far, no detailed physical picture has been put forward. It is worth mentioning that the dynamics of a single helium atom on an isolated nanotube corresponds to that of a tight-bound quasiparticle with a band width of about 10 K.

We review existing manifestations and prospects for ferroelectricity in electronically and optically active carbon-based materials. The focus point is the proposal for the electronic ferroelectricity in conjugated polymers from the family of substitu
ted polyacetylenes. The attractive feature of synthetic organic ferroelectrics is a very high polarizability coming from redistribution of the electronic density, rather than from conventional displacements of ions. Next fortunate peculiarity is the symmetry determined predictable design of perspective materials. The macroscopic electric polarization follows ultimately from combination of two types of a microscopic symmetry breaking which are ubiquitous to qusi-1D electronic systems. The state supports anomalous quasi-particles - microscopic solitons, carrying non-integer electric charges, which here play the role of nano-scale nucleus of ferroelectric domain walls. Their spectroscopic features in optics can interfere with low-frequency ferroelectric repolarization providing new accesses and applications. In addition to already existing electronic ferroelectricity in organic crystals and donor-acceptor chains, we point to a class of conducting polymers and may be also to nano-ribbons of the graphene where such a state can be found. These proposals may lead to potential applications in modern intensive searches of carbon ferroelectrics.
Nanoscrolls (papyrus-like nanostructures) are very attractive structures for a variety of applications, due to their tunable diameter values and large accessible surface area. They have been successfully synthesized from different materials. In this
work we have investigated, through fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, the dynamics of scroll formation for a series of graphenelike carbon nitride (CN) twodimensional systems: gCN, triazinebased gC3N4, and heptazinebased gC3N4. Our results show that stable nanoscrolls can be formed for all of these structures. Possible synthetic routes to produce these nanostructures are also addressed.
With the miniaturization and integration of nanoelectronic devices, efficient heat removal becomes a key factor affecting the reliable operation of the nanoelectronic device. With the high intrinsic thermal conductivity, good mechanical flexibility,
and precisely controlled growth, two-dimensional (2D) materials are widely accepted as ideal candidates for thermal management materials. In this work, by solving the phonon Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) based on first-principles calculations, we comprehensively investigated the thermal conductivity of novel 2D layered MSi$_2$N$_4$ (M = Mo, W). Our results point to competitive thermal conductivities (162 W/mK) of monolayer MoSi$_2$N$_4$, which is around two times larger than that of WSi$_2$N$_4$ and seven times larger than that of silicene despite their similar non-planar structures. It is revealed that the high thermal conductivity arises mainly from its large group velocity and low anharmonicity. Our result suggests that MoSi$_2$N$_4$ could be a potential candidate for 2D thermal management materials.
The phonon properties, electronic structures and optical properties of novel carbon allotropes, such as monolayer penta-graphene (PG), double-layer PG and T12-carbon, were explored by means of first-principles calculations. Results of phonon calculat
ions demonstrate that these exotic carbon allotropes are dynamically stable. In addition, the bulk T12 phase is an indirect-gap semiconductor having a bandgap of ~4.89 eV. Whereas the bulk material transforms to a 2D phase, the monolayer and double-layer PG become quasi-direct gap semiconductors with smaller band gaps of ~2.64 eV and ~3.27eV, respectively. Furthermore, the partial charge density analysis indicates that the 2D phases retain part of the electronic characteristics of the T12 phase. The linear photon energy-dependent dielectric functions and related optical properties including refractive index, extinction coefficient, absorption spectrum, reflectivity, and energy loss spectrum were also computed and discussed. The structural estimation obtained as well as other findings are in agreement with existing theoretical data. The calculated results are beneficial to the practical applications of these exotic carbon allotropes in optoelectronics and electronics.
We investigate experimentally the transport properties of single-walled carbon nanotube bundles as a function of temperature and applied current over broad intervals of these variables. The analysis is performed on arrays of nanotube bundles whose ax
es are aligned along the direction of the externally supplied bias current. The data are found consistent with a charge transport model governed by the tunnelling between metallic regions occurring through potential barriers generated by nanotubes contact areas or bundles surfaces. Based on this model and on experimental data we describe quantitatively the dependencies of the amplitude of these barriers upon bias current and temperature.
