The unique electronic and vibrational properties of linear carbon chains (LCCs) have
attracted close attention from the scientific community in recent years. Raman spectroscopy …

Long linear carbon chains (LLCCs) encapsulated inside double-walled carbon nanotubes
(DWCNTs) are regarded as a promising realization of carbyne, the truly one-dimensional …

The carbon nanowires are defined as long linear carbon chains (LLCCs) or carbynes
confined inside carbon nanotubes (CNTs). LLCCs were synthesized previously inside multi …

The elastic modulus of carbyne, a one-dimensional carbon chain, was recently predicted to
be much higher than graphene. Inspired by this discovery and the fundamental correlation …

Recently, a new 3D carbon allotrope named pentadiamond was proposed composed by
mixed sp 2 and sp 3-like hybridization. In this work, we have carried out a detailed …
