The vibrational properties of a series of push-pull polyynes have been studied by infrared and Raman spectroscopy. The simultaneous activation of a strong infrared and Raman mode, i.e. the collective vibration of CC bonds of the sp carbon…
Linear chains made by a single row of sp-hybridized carbon are predicted to display fascinating mechano-electronic properties connected with their termination and stabilization inside realistic carbon structures. The present work describes…
Nowadays sp carbon chains terminated by graphene or graphitic-like carbon are synthesized routinely in several nanotech labs. We propose an ab-initio study of such carbon-only materials, by computing their structure and stability, as well…
