摘要

This letter adopts an atomistic modeling approach to study free vibrational characteristics of C-60, C-70, and C-80 fullerenes. In this regard, we use the molecular structural mechanics consisting of equivalent structural beams to calculate the nonzero natural frequencies. The simulation results indicate that the first natural frequency of the fullerene is in the order terahertz and decreases nonlinearly with respect to the number of the carbon atoms.
