The resonance frequencies of cantilever carbon nanocones (CNCs) up to 4 nm in height are determined using molecular dynamics simulation based on adaptive intermolecular reactive empirical bond order potential. The frequency content of the free vibrations of CNCs under a lateral initial excitation at the tip is analyzed using fast Fourier transformation, and the resonance frequencies are obtained. The results are reported for various samples to investigate the dependency of the resonance frequency to the geometrical parameters and temperature of CNCs.
