About this Research Topic
Recent progress in miniaturization and the development of low-dimensional materials allow for the growth of applications such as nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, and nanosensors. To fulfill the demand for these materials, searching for low-dimensional materials with suitable properties has become an important task for many scientists.
Material properties, such as electronic, transport, vibrational, and photonics properties, change tremendously when any dimension of the material reaches the nanometer range. At this size, quantum confinement dominates, giving rise to many exotic properties in materials that may not be present in their bulk form. 1D materials are in demand for miniaturized devices as interconnects and multi-functional materials for device fabrication composites. Carbon-based 1D materials such as nanotubes, nanofibers, nanowires, and nanoribbons have shown promising applications in areas ranging from nanoelectronics and energy to drug delivery applications. Recently, work on carbyne, the atomic chain of carbon, and heterostructures of 1D carbon-based materials has been on the rise and in momentum to design future generation devices.
Modeling and fabrication of novel carbon-based 1D materials and investigating their properties for application is crucial for applications of these materials in real life. This Research Topic aims to provide a platform for researchers working on carbon-based 1D materials and their heterostructures to highlight their findings, be it for biomedical, nanoelectronics, spintronics, photonics, or sensing applications. We welcome contributions from research work on basic materials properties, the physics, and chemistry behind these 1D carbon-based materials to work on designing and optimization of devices and their performance. This Research Topic is expected to form a connection between theory, simulation, and experimental research dedicated to developing new 1D carbon-based systems and their heterostructures for device application.
We welcome Original Research, Review, Mini Review, and Perspective articles submissions. The areas to be covered in this Research Topic include but are not limited to the following:
• Carbon Nanotubes and nanotube heterostructures
• Carbon based Atomic chains
• Encapsulated atomic chains by nanotube

• Bioactive 1D nanostructures
• Development of effective analytical and computational model to understand 1D materials
• Computer architectures such as artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches in the analysis of 1D carbon nanostrutures
Topic Coordinator, Grzegorz Stando, is employed by Synthos. All other Topic Editors declare no competing interests with regards to the Research Topic subject.
