Using the extended Su‐Schrieffer‐Heeger (SSH) model and the sum‐over‐state (SOS) method, we have calculated the third‐order nonlinear polarizability γ and its dispersion spectra for C 60 ‐derived nanotubes, which is one of the narrowest tubes. Our numerical calculations indicate that both symmetry and size of the nanotubes have great effect on the third‐order nonlinear polarizability γ spectra. We find that with increasing size, both static γ values and dynamical response peak values increase. When the atom number of the C 60 ‐derived nanotubes is 140, the static γ value is about 65 times larger than that of C 60 , and the highest peak value of γ (at 3ω = 3.52 eV) is about three orders larger than that of C 60 . So, C 60 ‐derived nanotubes may become a kind of good nonlinear optical materials.
