A new group-theory method to relate a spectrum of carbon nanotubes with that of a graphene monolayer is elaborated. The spectrum reconstruction is performed using a virtual intermediate planar periodic structure. Selected irreducible representations of its space symmetry group and all those of the nanotube one are isomorphic and therefore span the correlated excitations. The method is applied to study the origin of the zone-center phonon modes of chiral and achiral carbon nanotubes. The structure of the G-band for particular types of nanotubes is determined. The results obtained could be useful for experimental indexing of the carbon nanotubes by means of Raman spectroscopy.

We find that the optical properties of carbon nanotubes reflect remarkably strong effects of exciton-phonon coupling. Tight-binding calculations show that a significant fraction of the spectral weight of the absorption peak is transferred to a distin
ct exciton+phonon sideband, which is peaked at around 200 meV above the main absorption peak. This sideband provides a distinctive signature of the excitonic character of the optical transition. The exciton-phonon coupling is reflected in a dynamical structural distortion, which contributes a binding energy of up to 100 meV. The distortion is surprisingly long-ranged, and is strongly dependent on chirality.
We report on the nano-electron beam assisted fabrication of atomically sharp iron-based tips and on the creation of a nano-soldering iron for nano-interconnects using Fe-filled multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). High energy electron beam machinin
g has been proven a powerful tool to modify desired nanostructures for technological applications and to form molecular junctions and interconnections between carbon nanotubes. Recent studies showed the high degree of complexity in the creation of direct interconnections between multiwalled and CNTs having dissimilar diameters. Our technique allows for carving a MWCNT into a nanosoldering iron that was demonstrated capable of joining two separated halves of a tube. This approach could easily be extended to the interconnection of two largely dissimilar CNTs, between a CNT and a nanowire or between two nanowires.
We apply first principles calculations to study the opening of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by oxidation. We show that an oxygen rim can stabilize the edge of the open tube. The sublimation of CO$_2$ molecules from the rim with the subsequent
closing of the tube changes from endothermic to exothermic as the tube radius increases, within the range of experimental feasible radii. We also obtain the energies for opening the tube at the cap and at the wall, the latter being significantly less favorable.
Linear carbon chains (LCCs) have been shown to grow inside double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) but isolating them from this hosting material represents one of the most challenging tasks towards applications. Herein we report the extraction and se
paration of LCCs inside single-wall carbon nanotubes (LCCs@SWCNTs) extracted from a double walled host LCCs@DWCNTs by applying a combined tip-ultrasonic and density gradient ultracentrifugation (DGU) process. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), optical absorption, and Raman spectroscopy show that not only short LCCs but clearly long LCCs (LLCCs) can be extracted and separated from the host. Moreover, the LLCCs can even be condensed by DGU. The Raman spectral frequency of LCCs remains almost unchanged regardless of the presence of the outer tube of the DWCNTs. This suggests that the major importance of the outer tubes is making the whole synthesis viable. We have also been able to observe the interaction between the LCCs and the inner tubes of DWCNTs, playing a major role in modifying the optical properties of LCCs. Our extraction method suggests the possibility towards the complete isolation of LCCs from CNTs.
Graphene and single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) have attracted great attention because of their ultra-high thermal conductivity. However, there are few works exploring the relations of their thermal conductivity quantitatively. The carbon nanocone (
CNC) is a graded structure fall in between graphene disk (GD) and SWCNT. We perform non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulation to study the thermal conductivity of CNC with different apex angles, and then compare them with that of GD and SWCNT. Our results show that, different from the homogeneous thermal conductivity in SWCNT, the CNC also has a natural graded thermal conductivity which is similar to the GD. Unexpectedly, the graded rate keeps almost the same when the apex angle decreases from 180{deg} (GD) to 19{deg}, but then suddenly declines to zero when the apex angle decreases from 19{deg} to 0{deg} (SWCNT). What is more interesting, the graded effect is not diminished when the interatomic force constant is weakened and mean free path is shorten. That is, besides nanoscale, the graded effect can be observed in macroscale graphene or CNC structures.
