Effects in the heat capacity (C_p) of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) that caused by low dimensions (1D, 2D), the unique structure and the geometry both pure and saturated with gases nanosystems are studied. The C_p of bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs bundles) differs significantly from C_p of other carbon materials (graphene, graphite, diamond) at low temperatures. C_p of bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs bundles) below 5 K is similar to that observed in 2D systems. At temperature above 100K the...

Abstract: The discussed Wentzel Jamnitzer’s work belongs to works which have been published most frequently throughout the 15-th and 16-th centuries and which depicted Platonic (regular) bodies. It was believed at that time that these bodies comprised the essence of nature of the surrounding world, which was percepted by external senses, or exclusively accessible by intellect. Complexity of the surrounding world could be symbolized by a geometric combination of the Platonic bodies which gave rise to semiregular or even more complicated bodies.

Methods for nanoscale material characterization are in ever-increasing demand, especially those that can provide a broader range of information at once. Near-field techniques based on combinations of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) and Raman or photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy (tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy [TERS] and/or tip-enhanced PL [TEPL]) are, thanks to their capabilities and fast development, strong candidates for becoming widespread across the scientific community as SPM and Raman microscopy did only a decade or two ago. In the present talk, several examples of the utilization of...
