Abstract

After the discovery of the C60 molecule a lot of attention has been given to its optical and collective properties. The latest development in fullerene related research was the synthesis of coaxial carbon sheets called carbon or nano tubes and also spherical concentric graphitic shells called carbon onions. With a model describing the collective dynamics of electrons we may gain insight in the physics of the collective resonances. Based on a simple equation of motion for the induced density in a carbon particle we demonstrate the existence of a rich spectrum of collective resonances for both carbon onions and carbon tubes.
