## Abstract

We calculate phonon shifts of external modes of a bunch of carbon nanotubes. A simple model based on atom-atom potential has been used to calculate the implicit anharmonicity in the phonons of carbon nanotube bundles having rigid tubes, with the assumption that under hydrostatic pressure only the intertube distance in the bunch varies. Such a model is important as long carbon nanotube ropes will be an extension of a fixed length ropes as is done here. Various bulk and thermodynamic properties like thermal expansion, bulk modulus and the Gruneisen constants and external phonon shifts which naturally enter into the calculation are also described and compared with the available data. The specific heat capacity has also been calculated.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
