Abstract

We theoretically investigate the dynamical stability of one-dimensional fullerene polymers by computing the phonon dispersion relations within the atomistic approach. We find that only seven models among 54 models proposed previously [J. Phys. Chem. A 119, 3048 (2015)] are dynamically stable. We show that the low temperature specific heat of them is proportional to the square root of the temperature in a wider range of temperature compared to the case of single-walled carbon nanotubes.
