Abstract

The resonant Raman response is due to electronic and vibrational excitations. Interestingly, the resonant Raman fingerprint of confined carbyne is highly unconventional and comes concomitant to several new features which can neither be assigned to the hosting tube, nor to the linear carbon chain a.k.a carbyne. This identifies the tube-chain system as a true hybrid structure in which the spectrum is usually driven by strong modifications in the electronic excitations via charge transfer. Surprisingly, we show that the electronic structure results from those of the two isolated systems and the large spectral modifications are solely due to the strong anharmonic interactions between the tube and the chain. Our work establishes confined carbyne as the ideal test system to probe strong anharmonicity in one dimension and its huge implications on the resonant Raman response.
