TLDR
In this paper, a topological defect consisting of a five and a seven-membered ring pair in a honeycomb lattice is proposed, and the defect pair can move smoothly in a hexagonal lattice during a bond change reaction without annihilation into two six-memered rings, until it collides with another pentagon defect.About:

The reduction of graphene oxide
Songfeng Pei,Hui-Ming Cheng +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the state-of-the-art status of the reduction of GO on both techniques and mechanisms is reviewed, where the reduction process can partially restore the structure and properties of graphene.

Unusually High Thermal Conductivity of Carbon Nanotubes
TL;DR: An unusually high value, lambda approximately 6600 W/m K, is suggested for an isolated (10,10) nanotube at room temperature, comparable to the thermal conductivity of a hypothetical isolated graphene monolayer or diamond.

Atomic Structure of Reduced Graphene Oxide
Cristina Gómez-Navarro,Jannik C. Meyer,R. S. Sundaram,Andrey Chuvilin,Simon Kurasch,Marko Burghard,Klaus Kern,Klaus Kern,Ute Kaiser +8 more
TL;DR: The layers are found to comprise defect-free graphene areas with sizes of a few nanometers interspersed with defect areas dominated by clustered pentagons and heptagons, which makes all carbon atoms in these defective areas undetectable by spectroscopic techniques.

Vibrational modes of carbon nanotubes; Spectroscopy and theory
TL;DR: In this article, the vibrational modes of carbon nanotubes are reviewed and the number of these modes is found to depend on the tubule symmetry and not on the diameter.

Helical microtubules of graphitic carbon
TL;DR: Iijima et al. as mentioned in this paper reported the preparation of a new type of finite carbon structure consisting of needle-like tubes, which were produced using an arc-discharge evaporation method similar to that used for fullerene synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solitons in polyacetylene
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a theoretical study of soliton formation in long-chain polyenes, including the energy of formation, length, mass, and activation energy for motion.
Journal ArticleDOI
New one-dimensional conductors: Graphitic microtubules.
TL;DR: It is predicted that carbon microtubules exhibit striking variations in electronic transport, from metallic to semiconducting with narrow and moderate band gaps, depending on the diameter of the tubule and on the degree of helical arrangement of the carbon hexagons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soliton excitations in polyacetylene
TL;DR: A theoretical analysis of the excitation spectrum of long-chain polyenes is presented in this paper, where one electronic state is localized at the gap center for each soliton or antisoliton present and the soliton's energy of formation, length, mass, activation energy for motion, and electronic properties are calculated.

Are fullerene tubules metallic
TL;DR: It is estimated that the mean-field transition temperature from a Peierls-distorted regime to a high-temperature metallic regime should be well below room temperature.
