Abstract:
In 2002 Baskaran and Jafari published an article that was about a spin-1 collective mode. Similarity between carbon nanotubes and graphene was a motivation for working on this project, in order to find another spin mode by considering random phase approximation as a simple way of finding collective motion of a physical systems. Moreover rolling graphene sheet induce diffrent physical properties as a result of chiral axis . In this project we focus only on achiral nanotubes and at last find two collective modes in this structures
