The third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility of C{sub 60}-derived nanotubes

Abstract

Using the extended Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model and the sum-over-state (SOS) method, we have calculated the third-order nonlinear polarizability {gamma} and its dispersion spectra for C{sub 60}-derived nanotubes, which is one of the narrowest tubes. Our numerical calculations indicate that both symmetry and size of the nanotubes have great effect on the third-order nonlinear polarizability {gamma} spectra. We find that with increasing size, both static {gamma} values and dynamical response peak values increase. When the atom number of the C{sub 60}-derived nanotubes is 140, the static {gamma} value is about 65 times larger than that of C{sub 60}, and the highest peak value of {gamma} (at 3{omega} = 3.52 eV) is about three orders larger than that of C{sub 60}. So, C{sub 60}-derived nanotubes may become a kind of good nonlinear optical materials. (orig.)
