The low-dimensional carbon allotropes have become a prominent topic of research due to their unprecedented strength and prospective physical properties. The Ar + ion-stimulated plasma deposition of the one-dimensional carbon chains always presented a challenging task that still lacks a theoretical description.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
