Carbon is an element with extremely versatile bonding properties and theoretical
calculations have suggested the possible existence of several hundred structural allotropes …

Studies on confined water are important not only from the viewpoint of scientific interest but
also for the development of new nanoscale devices. In this work, we aimed to clarify the …

Molecular semiconductors are increasingly used in devices, but understanding of
elementary nanoscopic processes in molecular film growth is in its infancy. Here we use real …

Ionic liquids (ILs) with interesting and useful properties are usually organic salts which have
an asymmetric organic cation and a wide assortment of anions. Mixing ILs and some …

Certain techniques characterizing diffusive processes, such as single-particle tracking or
molecular dynamics simulation, provide time averages rather than ensemble averages …

Structural phase transitions of C 60 under high-pressure and high-temperature are
presented in a concise overview extracted from updated literature. Primarily focused on …

In this paper, we report novel ferroelectric properties of a new form of ice inside single-
walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). These are called “ice nanotubes”(ice NTs) and they …

As nanotechnology has developed over the last two decades, some nanostructures, such as
nanotubes, nanowires, and nanoparticles, have become very popular. However, recent …

Isolated linear carbon chains (LCCs) encapsulated by multiwalled carbon nanotubes are
studied under hydrostatic pressure (P) via resonance Raman scattering. The LCCs' …

Linear carbon chains (LCCs) are one-dimensional materials with unique properties,
including high Debye temperatures and restricted selection rules for phonon interactions …
