Nonresonant Raman spectrum of C60 nanopeapod: C60 polymerization effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a force constants model for the vibrational modes in C60 dimer and polymer phases. The results of this model are used to calculate the nonresonant Raman spectra of infinitely long isolated C60 dimer and polymer peapod in the framework of bondpolarization theory by using the spectral moment’s method. The changes of the Raman spectrum in terms of the structure of the C60 molecules inside the nanotubes are identified. We show that the lowest Raman frequency region of the nanotube is more affected by the C60 chain insertion in comparison with the higher one.

Energetics and structural characterization of C60 polymerization in BN and carbon nanopeapods
As in the case of carbon nanotubes, also boron nitride nanotubes may host arrays of C60 molecules and form a nanopeapod (NPP). The observed separation between C60 molecules in BN NPP’s is consistently shorter than in carbon NPP’s, which influences their electronic properties. Here we report on total-energy pseudopotential density functional theory (DFT) calculations for polymerized and nonpolym...
متن کاملHigh-pressure induced polymerization of C60 nanorods
C60 nanorods, about 200 nm in diameter and several micrometers in length and with a rectangular cross section, have been synthesized by a simple solution-growth method. Raman spectroscopy and TEM indicate that the C60 nanorods have a fcc crystalline structure similar to that of pristine C60. Nanorods were polymerized at high temperature and high pressure below 2 GPa. Two different polymeric str...

متن کاملThin films of C60 peapods and double wall carbon nanotubes
Thin films of SWCNTs were prepared from toluene suspension of single wall carbon nanotubes. The material was dropped on silicon and platinum surfaces with a controlled thickness. Filling with C60 and DWCNT – transformation of the films was performed. Multifrequency Raman spectroscopy was used to follow the peapod formation process and double wall transformation of the tubes. An efficient fillin...
متن کاملTuning the layer-dependent doping effect of graphenes by C60.
In this work, the doping of n-layer graphenes with C60 is investigated via Raman spectroscopy. The results indicate that C60 can induce hole doping in graphenes, and that the doping level is closely related to the layer number of the graphenes. Moreover, the level of doping in the hybrid of C60 on graphene (C60/G) is more significant than that in the hybrid of graphene on C60 (G/C60).
