Unraveling the Excitonic Transition and Associated Dynamics in Confined Long Linear Carbon-chains with Time-Resolved Resonance Raman Scattering
Jingyi Zhu, Robin Bernhardt, Weili Cui +9
Long linear carbon-chains have been attracting intense interest arising from the remarkable properties predicted and their potential applications in future nanotechnology. Here we…
Oxidation stability of confined linear carbon chains, carbon nanotubes, and graphene nanoribbons as 1D nanocarbons
Weili Cui, Takeshi Saito, Paola Ayala +2
Three typical one-dimensional (1D)/quasi-1D nanocarbons, linear carbon chains, carbon nanotubes, and graphene nanoribbons have been proven to grow inside single-wall carbon nanotub…
Well-defined sub-nanometer graphene ribbons synthesized inside carbon nanotubes
Hans Kuzmany, Lei Shi, Miles Martinati +9
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…
Templated direct growth of ultra-thin double-walled carbon nanotubes
Lei Shi, Jinquan Wei, Kazuhiro Yanagi +5
Double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) combined the advantages of multi-walled (MW-) and single-walled (SW-) CNTs can be obtained by transforming the precursors (e.g. fullerene, f…
The Growth of New Extended Carbon Nanophases from Ferrocene Inside Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Hans Kuzmany, Lei Shi, Jeno Kurti +4
The Raman response of new structures grown after filling SWCNTs with ferrocene and transformation at moderate high temperatures is demonstrated to be very strong, even stronger tha…
Extraction of Linear Carbon Chains Unravels the Role of the Carbon Nanotube Host
Lei Shi, Kazuhiro Yanagi, Kecheng Cao +3
Linear carbon chains (LCCs) have been shown to grow inside double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) but isolating them from this hosting material represents one of the most challeng…
Electronic band gaps of confined linear carbon chains ranging from polyyne to carbyne
Lei Shi, Philip Rohringer, Marius Wanko +7
Ultra long linear carbon chains of more than 6000 carbon atoms have recently been synthesized within double-walled carbon nanotubes, and they show a promising new route to one--ato…
Confined linear carbon chains: A route to bulk carbyne
Lei Shi, Philip Rohringer, Kazu Suenaga +6
The extreme instability and strong chemical activity of carbyne, the infinite sp1 hybridized carbon chain, are responsible for its low possibility to survive in ambient conditions.…
Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of completely isotactic polyacrylonitrile
Jun-Ting Zou, Yu-Song Wang, Wen-Min Pang +2
Completely isotactic polyacrylonitrile (i-PAN) has been synthesized successfully by an improved urea inclusion polymerization. The tacticity of prepared samples were confirmed by 1…
