In this work we demonstrate that carbon nanotube junctions with an optional number, type (zigzag and/or armchair) and diameter of tubes can exist. We show a method for geometric construction of their models.
A method is demonstrated for constructing models on which we show that carbon nanotubes with optional type and diameter can be connected to different three-dimensional surfaces. Basic examples (zigzag and armchair-type junctions and holes) are studied in this paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
