Recently, the novel system of linear carbon chains inside of double-walled carbon nanotubes has extended the length of $sp^1$ hybridized carbon chains from 44 to thousands of atoms [L. Shi et al., Nat. Mater. 15, 634 (2016)]. The optoelectronic properties of these ultra-long chains are poorly described by current theoretical models, which are based on short chain experimental data and assume a constant environment. As such, a physical understanding of the system in terms of charge transfer and van der Waals interactions is widely missing. We provide a reference for the intrinsic Raman frequency of polyynes in vacuo and explicitly describe the interactions between polyynes and carbon nanotubes. We find that van der Waals interactions strongly shift the Raman frequency, which has been neither expected nor addressed before. As a consequence of charge transfer from the tube to the chain, the Raman response of long chains is qualitatively different from the known phonon dispersion of polymers close to the $Gamma$-point. Based on these findings we show how to correctly interpret the Raman data, considering the nanotubes properties. This is essential for its use as an analytical tool to optimize the growth process for future applications.

Quantum-dot states in graphene nanoribbons (GNR) were calculated using density-functional theory, considering the effect of the electric field of gate electrodes. The field is parallel to the GNR plane and was generated by an inhomogeneous charge she
et placed atop the ribbon. Varying the electric field allowed to observe the development of the GNR states and the formation of localized, quantum-dot-like states in the band gap. The calculation has been performed for armchair GNRs and for armchair ribbons with a zigzag section. For the armchair GNR a static dielectric constant of {epsilon} approx. 4 could be determined.
The detection of vibrational excitations of individual molecules on surfaces by scanning tunneling spectroscopy does not obey strict selection rules but rather propensity rules. The experimental verification of these is challenging because it require
s the independent variation of specific parameters, such as the electronic structure, while keeping the vibrational modes the same. Here, we make use of the versatile self-assembled structures of Fe-tetra-pyridyl-porphyrin molecules on a Au(111) surface. These exhibit different energy-level alignments of the frontier molecular orbitals, thus allowing the correlation of electronic structure and detection of vibrations. We identify up to seven vibrational modes in the tunneling spectra of the molecules in some of the arrangements, whereas we observe none in other structures. We find that the presence of vibrational excitations and their distribution along the molecule correlates with the observation of energetically low-lying molecular states. This correlation allows to explain the different numbers of vibrational signatures for molecules embedded within different structures as well as the bias asymmetry of the vibrational intensities within an individual molecule. Our observations are in agreement with a resonant enhancement of vibrations by the virtual excitation of electronic states.
Doping via electrostatic gating is a powerful and widely used technique to tune the electron densities in layered materials. The microscopic details of how these setups affect the layered material are, however, subtle and call for careful theoretical
treatments. Using semiconducting monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) as prototypical systems affected by electrostatic gating, we show that the electronic and optical properties change indeed dramatically when the gating geometry is properly taken into account. This effect is implemented by a self-consistent calculation of the Coulomb interaction between the charges in different sub-layers within the tight-binding approximation. Thereby we consider both, single- and double-sided gating. Our results show that, at low doping levels of $10^{13}$ cm$^{-2}$, the electronic bands of monolayer TMDs shift rigidly for both types of gating, and subsequently undergo a Lifshitz transition. When approaching the doping level of $10^{14}$ cm$^{-2}$, the band structure changes dramatically, especially in the case of single-sided gating where we find that monolayer ce{MoS2} and ce{WS2} become indirect gap semiconductors. The optical conductivities calculated within linear response theory also show clear signatures of these doping-induced band structure renormalizations. Our numerical results based on light-weighted tight-binding models indicate the importance of electronic screening in doped layered structures, and pave the way for further understanding gated super-lattice structures formed by mutlilayers with extended Moir{e} pattern.
Electronic, structural, vibrational and elastic properties of PaN have been studied both at ambient and high pressures, using first principles methods with several commonly used parameterizations of the exchange-correlation energy. The generalized gr
adient approximation (GGA) reproduces the ground state properties satisfactorily. Under pressure PaN is found to undergo a structural transition from NaCl to the R-3m structure near 58 GPa. The high pressure behavior of the acoustic phonon branch along the (1,0,0) and (1,1,0) directions, and the C44 elastic constant are anomalous, which signals the structural transition. With GGA exchange-correlation, a topological transition in the charge density occurs near the structural transition which may be regarded as a quantum phase transition, where the order parameter obeys a mean field scaling law. However, the topological transition is absent when other exchange-correlation functionals are invoked (local density approximation (LDA) and hybrid functional). Therefore, this constitutes an example of GGA and LDA leading to qualitatively different predictions, and it is of great interest to examine experimentally whether this topological transition occurs.
We have investigated polyyne and cumulene prototypes based on the density-functional theory. Our independent-particle spectra show that the various carbynes can be distinguished by optical properties comparing the low-energy spectral structure as wel
l as using very general considerations. The latter conclusion is supported by results based on the random-phase approximation including local-field effects.
