Abstract

A simplified theory of telescopic oscillations in multi-walled carbon nanotubes is developed. Explicit expressions are derived for the telescopic force constants (longitudinal rigidity) and the frequencies of telescopic oscillations. The contribution of small-amplitude telescopic oscillations to the low-temperature specific heat of nanotubes is estimated.
