Collective level crossings on nanotubes and multipole excitations on fullerenes

Abstract
A meshlike energy structure of collective intersubband excitations and damped collective energy level crossings are predicted for electrons confined on a cylindrical graphitic nanotube. Unusual Kohn anomalies, besides 2kF, are found for nanotubes. Multipole collective excitations are obtained for C60 and related quasispherical fullerenes, and the results are in excellent agreement with available experimental measurements.
