Carbon nanotubes are nano-objects with quite anisotropic properties, for example the mechanical properties in longitudinal and radial directions differ significantly. This feature of the carbon nanotubes yields many interesting phenomena…

Heat conduction of a real quasi-one dimensional material, the finite length carbon nanowire (CNW), inserted into the single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) has been studied by the molecular dynamical (MD) method, in which both of the…

We study experimentally and theoretically structural defects which are formed during the transition from a laser cooled cloud to a Coulomb crystal, consisting of tens of ions in a linear radio frequency trap. We demonstrate the creation of…

In this dissertation, thermal and electrical properties of aligned multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) prepared by thermal decomposition of hydrocarbons have been experimentally studied. The thesis consists of six chapters. Ch1 is an…

The atomic dynamics of linear chains embedded in a crystalline matrix or adsorbed on its surface is studied. A linear chain formed by substitutional impurities in a surface layer and at the same time offsetting from this layer was analyzed…

Transmission electron microscopy experiments have recently observed gold metal nanocylinders to thin down in a discrete manner: A kink--a step of order of one atomic layer--nucleates at one end and then moves along the wire, leaving a…

Carbon nanomembranes (CNMs) are nanometer-thin disordered carbon materials that are suitable for a range of applications, from energy generation and storage, through to water filtration. The structure-property relationships of these…

Transistors made up of carbon nanotubes CNT have demonstrated excellent current-voltage characteristics which outperform some high-grade silicon-based transistors. A continuously tunable energy barrier across semiconductor interfaces is…

We present a general framework to explore thermally activated failures in quasi one dimensional systems. We apply it to the collapse of carbon nanotubes, the formation of bottlenecks in nanowires, both of which limit conductance, and the…

Low-temperature thermal conductivity and thermopower of multiwalled carbon nanotubes considered within a bundle of nanotubes are calculated taking into account multiple scattering of electrons on the atoms of impurities (like single carbon…

Nonlinear vibrations in strained monoatomic carbon chains are studied with the aid of ab initio methods based on the density functional theory. An unexpected phenomenon of structural transformation at the atomic level above a certain value…

Elastic radial deformation of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) under hydrostatic pressure is investigated within the continuum elastic approximation. The thin-shell theory, with accurate elastic constants and interwall couplings, allows…

We report on the temperature dependence of the intrinsic resistance of long individual disordered single-wall carbon nanotubes. The resistance grows dramatically as the temperature is reduced, and the functional form is consistent with an…

Recent progress in the synthesis and processing of nano-structured materials and systems calls for an improved understanding of thermal properties on small length scales. In this context, the question whether thermodynamics and, in…

We consider the generalization of the Kramers escape over a barrier problem to the case of a long chain molecule. It involves the motion of chain molecule of N segments across a region where the free energy per segment is higher, so that it…

Carbon atomic chain, linear benzene polymers, and carbon nanothreads are all one-dimensional (1D) ultrathin carbon structures. They possess excellent electronic and mechanical properties; however, their thermal transport properties have…

In weakly buckled carbon nanotubes, the kink is an open, ovalized constriction where molecular-sized analytes and ions can pass. Moreover, in semiconducting tubes, the kink has an electronic bound state within the bandgap. This state is…

The superior electronic, optical and magnetic properties of carbyne have been called for optoelectronic and magnetoelectronic applications. However, manufacturing a monoatomic chain of more than 6000 carbon atoms presents a huge technical…

A kinetic Monte Carlo approach is applied to study physical mechanisms responsible for the breakup of nanowires with the diamond cubic crystal structure into a chain of nanoparticles discovered in preceding experiments on Silicon nanowires.…

Freestanding van der Waals crystals made of single-atom carbon chains (carbynes) have been recently realized technologically. Here we investigate their electronic and optical properties experimentally, by continuous-wave and time-resolved…
