Strain-induced metal–semiconductor transition observed in atomic carbon chains
Carbyne, the sp(1)-hybridized phase of carbon, is still a missing link in the family of carbon allotropes. While the bulk phases of carbyne remain elusive, the elementary constituents, that is, linear chains of carbon atoms, have already been observed using the electron microscope. Isolated atomic chains are highly interesting one-dimensional conductors that have stimulated considerable theoret...
متن کاملStrain-Induced D Band Observed in Carbon Nanotubes
We report the emergence of the D band Raman mode in single-walled carbon nanotubes under large axial strain. The D to G mode Raman intensity ratio (ID/IG) is observed to increase with strain quadratically by more than a factor of 100-fold. Up to 5% strain, all changes in the Raman spectra are reversible. The emergence of the D band, instead, arises from the reversible and elastic symmetry-lower...
متن کاملNanospintronic properties of carbon-cobalt atomic chains
– Periodic atom chains of carbon-cobalt compounds, (CnCo)∞, comprise both conducting and insulating electronic properties simultaneously depending on the spin type of electrons, and hence are half-metals. Their band gap and the net magnetic moment oscillate with the number of carbon atoms in a unit cell. Finite segments of these chains also show interesting magnetic and transport properties. Wh...
متن کاملSpin-dependent electronic structure of transition-metal atomic chains adsorbed on single-wall carbon nanotubes
We present a systematic study of the electronic and magnetic properties of transition-metal TM atomic chains adsorbed on the zigzag single-wall carbon nanotubes SWNTs . We considered the adsorption on the external and internal wall of SWNT and examined the effect of the TM coverage and geometry on the binding energy and the spin polarization at the Fermi level. All those adsorbed chains studied...
