We calculate phonon shifts of external modes of a bunch of carbon nanotubes. A simple model based on atom-atom potential has been used to calculate the implicit anharmonicity in the phonons of carbon nanotube bundles having rigid tubes,…
Acoustic phonons play a special role in lattice heat transport, and confining these low-energy modes in low-dimensional materials may enable nontrivial transport phenomena. By applying lowest-order anharmonic perturbation theory to an…
The quantum corrections to the frequencies of the $\Gamma$ point longitudinal optical (LO) and transverse optical (TO) phonon modes in carbon nanotubes are investigated theoretically. The frequency shift and broadening of the TO phonon mode…
We report a novel phenomenon in carbon nanotube (CNT) based devices, the transphonon effects, which resemble the transonic effects in aerodynamics. It is caused by dissipative resonance of nanotube phonons similar to the radial breathing…
We experimentally demonstrate a transverse acoustic (TA) phonon transistor. Phonons are coherently initiated by femtosecond photocarrier screening on potential gradients. Although translational symmetry within the isotropic plane normally…
Phonon softening phenomena of the $\Gamma$ point optical modes including the longitudinal optical mode, transverse optical mode and radial breathing mode in "metallic" single wall carbon nanotubes are reviewed from a theoretical point of…
A magnetic field, through its vector potential, usually causes measurable changes in the electron wave function only in the direction transverse to the field. Here we demonstrate experimentally and theoretically that in carbon nanotube…
Electron mobility due to electron-phonon interaction is investigated for fully fluorinated/hydrogenated zig-zag carbon nanotubes containing one-dimensional alternating chains of carbon atoms with $\pi$-bonds. The behavior of mobility…
We propose a microscopic model for a nanoelectromechanical system made by a radio-frequency driven suspended carbon nanotube (CNT) in the presence of an external magnetic field perpendicular to the current. As a main result, we show that,…
We investigate vibration modes and their Raman activity of single-walled carbon nanotubes that are bent within their intrinsic elastic limits. By implementing novel boundary conditions for density-functional based tight-binding, and using…
Transverse acoustic (TA) phonon waves are analogous to electromagnetic waves and can carry a certain angular momentum. In this paper, we study the electron-TA phonon couplings in three-dimensional pentatellurides and explore the conditions…
We present direct experimental observation of exciton-phonon bound states in the photoluminescence excitation spectra of isolated single walled carbon nanotubes in aqueous suspension. The photoluminescence excitation spectra from several…
We calculate the current-voltage characteristic of metallic nanotubes at high bias voltage showing that a bottleneck exists for short nanotubes in contrast to large ones. We attribute this to a redistribution of lower-lying acoustic phonons…
The high aspect ratio of carbon nanotubes makes them prone to bending. To know how bending affects the tubes is therefore crucial for tube identification and for electrical component design. Very few studies, however, have investigated…
We study low frequency noise in a non-Ohmic region of metallic single walled and multiwalled carbon nanotubes. The generalized relative noise appear to be independent of applied bias in the power-law regime of the tubes and in agreement…
We theoretically elucidate the system length ($L$) dependence of phonon-induced current noise in carbon nanotubes at room temperature over a broad range, encompassing the quantum ballistic and classical diffusive regimes. The power spectral…
We report the first study on the thermal behaviour of the stiffness of individual carbon nanotubes, which is achieved by measuring the resonance frequency of their fundamental mechanical bending modes. We observe a reduction of the Young's…
Acoustic phonons can be coherently generated by ultrafast displacive screening of potential gradients, often enhanced by the strong built-in piezoelectric fields, in wurtzite semiconductors. In such structures, transverse symmetry within…
Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes are studied in the diffusive transport regime. The peak mobility is found to scale with the square of the nanotube diameter and inversely with temperature. The maximum conductance, corrected for…
Using the molecular dynamics simulations and the force constant model we have studied the Raman-active tangential modes (TMs) of a (10, 0) single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) under hydrostatic pressure. With increasing pressure, the atomic…
