The current paper presents the second part of the study devoted to composites formed by fullerene C60 and single-walled carbon nanotube ([C60-(4,4)] carbon nanobud). The formation of composites is considered from the basic points related to…

The current paper is aimed at the determination of barriers that govern the covalent coupling between two fullerenes C60 (C60 dimer), C60 and single-walled carbon nanotube ([C60-(4,4)] carbon nanobud), and C60 and graphene ([C60-(5,5)] and…

The current paper opens a series of papers that are aimed at the determination of barriers that govern the covalent coupling between partners of C60-based composites consisting of two or more fullerenes C60 (C60 dimer and oligomers) (Part…

The formation of graphen-nanotube composites addresses a few basic problems. First, both partners are good donors and acceptors of electrons, which significantly complicates the intermolecular interaction between them leading to a two-well…

The electronic and magnetic properties of carbon nanobuds have been investigated using density functional theory. The carbon nanobuds are formed by attaching smaller fullerenes (C20, C28, C36 and C40) of variable size with (5,5) ACNT and…

Large-scale practical applications of fullerene (C60) in nanodevices could be significantly facilitated if the commercially-available micrometer-scale raw C60 powder were further processed into a one-dimensional (1D) nanowire-related…

Two experimental studies reported the spontaneous formation of amorphous and crystalline structures of C60 intercalated between graphene and a substrate. They observed interesting phenomena ranging from reaction between C60 molecules under…

We report energy estimated to dissociate a C-C bond of a graphene sheet to form nanoribbons of armchair and zigzag configurations using first principles calculations. For the ground state energy calculations, the configurations considered…

We investigate the motion of a nano tippe top, which is formed from a C60 fullerene, and which is assumed to be spinning on either a graphene sheet or the interior of a single-walled carbon nanotube. We assume no specific geometric…

Combining the electronic structures of two-dimensional monolayers in ultrathin hybrid nanocomposites is expected to display new properties beyond their simplex components. Here, first-principles calculations are performed to study the…

Few layer graphene/carbon (FLG/C) composites are prepared directly via the rapid and simple exfoliation of expanded graphite in the presence of carbon based natural precursors (i.e. protein, polysaccharide) in water, followed by…

Coupled hybrid nanostructures are demonstrated using the combination of lithographically patterned graphene on top of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) buried in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. The graphene forms Schottky barriers at the…

Coherent one photon ($2 \omega$) and two photon ($ \omega$) electronic excitations are studied for graphene sheets and for carbon nanotubes using a long wavelength theory for the low energy electronic states. For graphene sheets we find…

Based on density functional theory calculations, we here show that the formation of a fullerene C$_{60}$ carbon "nanobud" (CNB) on carbon nanotube (CNT) caps is energetically more favorable than that on CNT sidewalls. The dominant CNB…

The structures, cohesive energies and HOMO-LUMO gaps of graphene nanoflakes and corresponding polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons for a large variety of size and topology are investigated at the density functional based tight-binding level.…

Graphene Oxide (GO) remains a perennial chemical enigma despite its utility in preparing graphene and its functionalization. Epoxides and tertiary alcohols are construed as primary functional groups, but the structural motifs, spectra, and…

A great efficacy of molecular quantum chemistry applied to basic graphene problems has been recently demonstrated by the authors when studying the formation of peculiar composites between carbon nanotubes and graphene as well as considering…

It had been understood that astronomically observed infrared spectrum of carbon rich planetary nebula as like Tc 1 and Lin 49 comes from fullerene (C60). Also, it is well known that graphene is a raw material for synthesizing fullerene.…

In view of a formal topology, two common terms, namely, connectivity and adjacency, determine the quality of C-C bonds of sp2 nanocarbons. The feature is the most sensitive point of the inherent topology of the species so that such external…

We investigate the growth of the recently demonstrated composite material composed of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes capped by few graphene layers. We show that the carbon nanotubes grow epitaxially under the few graphene layers. By…
