Molecular nanocarbons containing heptagonal rings have attracted increasing interest due
to their dynamic behavior, electronic properties, aromaticity, and solid‐state packing …

This article reviews the electronic and transport properties of carbon nanotubes. The focus is
mainly theoretical, but when appropriate the relation with experimental results is mentioned …

Conjugated polymer chains have many degrees of conformational freedom and interact
weakly with each other, resulting in complex microstructures in the solid state …

Graphene has attracted great interest for its excellent mechanical, electrical, thermal and
optical properties. It can be produced by micro-mechanical exfoliation of highly ordered …

Using high resolution transmission electron microscopy, we identify the specific atomic scale
features in chemically derived graphene monolayers that originate from the oxidation …

A common misconception is that the irradiation of solids with energetic electrons and ions
has exclusively detrimental effects on the properties of target materials. In addition to the …

Atomic vacancies have a strong impact in the mechanical, electronic, and magnetic
properties of graphenelike materials. By artificially generating isolated vacancies on a …

The excellent mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes are being exploited in a growing
number of applications from ballistic armour to nanoelectronics. However, measurements of …

Irradiating solids with energetic particles is usually thought to introduce disorder, normally
an undesirable phenomenon. But recent experiments on electron or ion irradiation of …

The outstanding electrical and mechanical properties remain elusive on macroscopic
carbon nanotube (CNT) films because of the difficult material process, which limits their wide …
