Localization of low-frequency oscillations in single-walled carbon nanotubes

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

New phenomenon of a weak energy localization of optical low-frequency oscillations in carbon nanotubes (CNT) is analytically predicted in the framework of continuum shell theory. This phenomenon takes place for CNTs of finite length with medium aspect ratio. The origin of localization is clarified by means of the concept of Limiting Phase Trajectory, and the analytical results are confirmed by the MD simulation of simply supported CNT.
