High-pressure resonance Raman experiments were performed on linear carbon chains Cn
confined in double-wall carbon nanotubes (Cn@ DWCNT). Our results indicate that the …

Carbon nanotubes tend to collapse when their diameters exceed a certain threshold, or
when a sufficiently large external pressure is applied on their walls. The radial stability of …

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

Pressure and temperature phase transitions of nanomaterials often differ significantly from
those of their bulk parents, offering novel approaches for the engineering of original …

The radial stability and the irreversible transformation of triple-wall carbon nanotubes
(TWCNTs) bundles are investigated at high pressure conditions both experimentally and …

Large-diameter carbon nanotubes (CNTs) synthesized by floating-catalyst chemical vapor
deposition (FC-CVD) assemble into bundles and subsequently into aerogel networks from …

Linear carbon chains (LCCs) are one-dimensional materials with unique properties,
