single-walled carbon nanotube
single-walled carbon nanotube
A carbon nanotube consisting of a single graphene cylinder. Different kinds of single-walled carbon nanotube are distinguished by the indices (<em>n</em>,<em>m</em>) which describe the vector along which the graphene is rolled. The chiral angle is the angle between the vector and the origin and can take any value between 0 and 30°.
