Low-Frequency Excitation Spectra in Double-Walled Armchair Carbon Nanotubes
M. F. Lin

Carbon nanotubes are highly potential materials for nanoscaled electronic devices in the next generation, owing to the peculiar electronic and mechanical properties. Single-walled (m,n) carbon nanotubes are gapless metals or semiconductors depending on radii and chiral angles. ...
