Besides graphite and diamond, the solid allotropes of carbon in sp2 and sp3 hybridization, the possible existence of a third allotrope based on the sp-carbon linear chain, the Carbyne, has stimulated researchers for a long time. The advent of fullerenes, nanotubes and graphene has opened new opportunities and nurtured the interest in novel carbon allotropes including linear structures. The efforts made in this direction produced a number of interesting sp-hybridized carbon molecules and nanostructures in the form of carbon-atom wires. We here discuss some of the new perspectives opened by the recent advancements in the research on sp-carbon systems.
Novel bis(biphenyl)-capped polyynes have been synthesized to investigate the modulation of the electronic and optical properties of sp-hybridized carbon-atom wires (CAWs) capped with {pi}-conjugated $sp^{2}$ endgroups. Raman and Surface Enhanced Rama
We have identified an unusually stable helical coil allotrope of phosphorus. Our ab initio Density Functional Theory calculations indicate that the uncoiled, isolated straight 1D chain is equally stable as a monolayer of black phosphorus dubbed phosp
We give a comprehensive overview of the development of micro traps, from the first experiments on guiding atoms using current carrying wires in the early 1990s to the creation of a BEC on an atom chip.
Ultra long linear carbon chains of more than 6000 carbon atoms have recently been synthesized within double-walled carbon nanotubes, and they show a promising new route to one--atom--wide semiconductors with a direct band gap. Theoretical studies pre
Graphene is considered one of the most promising materials for future electronic. However, in its pristine form graphene is a gapless material, which imposes limitations to its use in some electronic applications. In order to solve this problem many
