Summary
Description Nanotube strip +02 +01.pdf |
English:
Diagram of a carbon nanotube conceptually cut lengthwise and unrolled on the plane, overaid on the hexagonal graphene lattice. The point A1 represents an atom A of the nanotube that was right on the cut (the dashed line through A1). The transversal blue arrow corresponds to a circumference of the nanotube, and shows the gap A2 on the opposite edge of the strip where the atom A was before the cut. The parameter d is the approximate diameter of the rolled-up nanotube, and \alpha is the angle from u to w (the "chiral angle").
The vector w = A2-A1 is n*u + m*v where (n.m) = (2,1). This nanotube is chiral; its enantiomer would be one with type (1,2). It is the narrowest nanotube that could be created and which would gave a hollow space inside.
