A one-dimensional extremely covalent material: monatomic carbon linear chain
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polyyne and cumulene of infinite length as the typical covalent one-dimensional (1D) monatomic linear chains of carbon have been demonstrated to be metallic and semiconductor (Eg = 1.859 eV), respectively, by first-principles calculations. Comparing with single-walled carbon nanotubes, the densities are evidently low and the thermodynamic properties are similar below room temperature but much different at the high temperature range. Polyyne possesses a Young's modulus as high as 1.304 TPa, which means it is even much stiffer than carbon nanotubes and to be the superlative strong 1D material along the axial direction. The Young's modulus of cumulene is estimated to be 760.78 GPa. In addition, polyyne is predicted to be as a one-dimensional electronic material with very high mobility.

Topological Relationship Between One-Dimensional Box Model and Randić Indices in Linear Simple Conjugated Polyenes
The alternative double bonds and conjugation in the polyene compounds are one of the main properties in these compounds. Each carbon-carbon bonds in a polyene compound along the chain has appreciable double-bond character. The p-electrons are therefore not localized but are relatively free to move throughout the entire carbon skeleton as an one-dimensional box. The skeleton be considered as a r...
متن کاملConducting linear chains of sulphur inside carbon nanotubes
Despite extensive research for more than 200 years, the experimental isolation of monatomic sulphur chains, which are believed to exhibit a conducting character, has eluded scientists. Here we report the synthesis of a previously unobserved composite material of elemental sulphur, consisting of monatomic chains stabilized in the constraining volume of a carbon nanotube. This one-dimensional pha...

Carbon forms various nanostructures based on the monatomic chains or strings which show transport properties of fundamental and technological interest. We have carried out first-principles quantum conductance calculations using optimized structures within density functional theory. We treated finite segments of carbon monatomic chain, metal-semiconductor heterostructure, and resonant tunneling ...

The electronic structure of monatomic Cu and Co wires grown by step decoration of the vicinal Pt~997! surface has been investigated by angle-resolved photoemission with synchrotron radiation. Sensitivity to the small amount ~'0.1 monolayer! of deposited material that forms the one-dimensional wires could be achieved at photon energies close to the Pt 5d Cooper minimum, where the photoemission c...
متن کاملMechanotunable monatomic metal structures at graphene edges.
Monatomic metal (e.g. silver) structures could form preferably at graphene edges. We explore their structural and electronic properties by performing density functional theory based first-principles calculations. The results show that cohesion between metal atoms, as well as electronic coupling between metal atoms and graphene edges offer remarkable structural stability of the hybrid. We find t...
