Abstract

Problems in nonlinear properties of carbon nanotubes with a strong interaction of electrons are considered if the electron mobility, the Coulomb repulsion of electrons at one site of a carbon nanotube, and variations in the distance between neighboring sites owing to acoustic oscillations are taken into account. The possible occurrence of nonlinear acoustic lattices in carbon nanotubes that are small in diameter is investigated.
