摘要: We have synthesized novel crystalline ropes of “polygonized” single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The tubes exhibit rounded-hexagonal cross sections in contrast to the earlier observations nearly circular tubes. To investigate structural characteristics lattice SWCNTs we performed extensive molecular-dynamics simulations. find several metastable structures characterized by different tube sections, hexagonal, rounded-hexagonal, and circular, increasing cell volume. competition between shapes as a function diameter is analyzed compared experiments.
