Graphene nanoribbons with sub-nanometer widths are extremely interesting for nanoscale electronics and devices as they combine the unusual transport properties of graphene with the opening of a band gap due to quantum confinement in the…

We present ab initio calculations on the band structure and density of states of single wall semiconducting carbon nanotubes with high degrees (up to 25%) of B, Si and N substitution. The doping process consists of two phases: different…

We report low temperature transport measurements on suspended single walled carbon nanotubes (both individual tubes and ropes). The technique we have developed, where tubes are soldered on low resistive metallic contacts across a slit,…

The covalent functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with luminescent quantum defects enables their application as near-infrared single-photon sources, as optical sensors, and for in-vivo tissue imaging. Tuning the…

Because of their natural one-dimensional (1D) structure combined with intricate chiral variations, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) exhibit various exceptional physical properties, such as ultrahigh electrical and thermal conductivity, exceptional…

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…

We investigate nuclear spin hyperpolarization from nitrogen vacancy centers in isotopically enriched diamonds with $^{13}$C concentrations up to 100%. $^{13}$C enrichment leads to hyperfine structure of the nitrogen vacancy electron spin…

In this work, phosphorous-doped single-walled carbon nanotubes have been synthesized by the thermal decomposition of trimethylphosphine using a high-vacuum chemical vapor deposition method. Furthermore, a modified…

By employing the first-principles calculations, we investigate electronic properties of a novel carbon nanostructure called a carbon nanobud, in which a $C_{60}$ molecule covalently attaches or embeds in an armchair carbon nanotube. We find…

The ultra-low intershell shear strength in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been the primary obstacle to applications of CNTs as mechanical reinforcements. In this paper we propose a new CNT-system composed of comprising of coaxial cylindrical…

The subcarbides B12C3 and B13C2 known for their abrasive properties, can be structurally considered as carbon inserted rhombohedral alpha-B12 and expressed as B12{C-C-C} and B12(C-B-C). Using density functional theory DFT computations, the…

A novel crystalline structure of hybrid monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (BN) and graphene is predicted by means of the first-principles calculations. This material can be derived via boron or nitrogen atoms substituted by carbon atoms…

In this article, we report the results of relatively facile fabrication of carbon nanodots from single-walled and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT and MWCNT). The results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman measurements…

We report on various nanocarbons formed from a unique structural pattern containing two pentagons, three hexagons and two heptagons, resulting from local rearrange- ments around a divacancy in pristine graphene or nanotubes. This defect can…

This article describes base-line data used in conjunction with the Materials Today Chemistry article: The green synthesis of exceptional braided, helical carbon nanotubes and nano spiral platelets made directly from CO$_2$. The data…

In the present work we discuss based on extensive fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations the dynamics of Neon atoms oscillating inside (5,5)single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and boron-nitride (BNNT) ones. Our results show that…

Theory predicts peculiar features for excited-state dynamics in one dimension (1D) that are difficult to be observed experimentally. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are an excellent approximation to 1D quantum confinement, due to…

Patterned films of decorated nitrogenated carbon (C-N) nanotubes were catalytically synthesised by hot filament chemical vapour deposition (HF-CVD) in a nitrogen-methane-ammonia environment. The systematic study of a transition between…

Using first-principles calculations, we perform a search for high-capacity hydrogen storage media based on individually dispersed calcium atoms on doped or defective carbon nanotubes. We find that up to six H2 molecules can bind to a Ca…

We propose a device which implements a solid-state nanostructured electron entangler. It consists of a single-walled carbon nanotube connected at both end to normal state electrodes and coupled in its middle part to a superconducting…
