Abstract

The phonon dispersion of chiral single wall carbon nanotubes has been obtained from 6× 6 dyanimic matrix. The present manuscript is the extension of G. D. Mahan and Gun Sang Jeon's work on armchair and zigzag nanotubes. [see P. R. B., 70, 075405 (2004)]. We use spring and mass model with the proper phonon potential suggested by M2. We can calculate the dispersion of single wall carbon nanotubes near Γ point with arbitrary chirality. The results are compatible with Mahan et. al's results for armchair and zigzag SWNTs.
