A Report on Carbon Nanotubes

Sathvik Arava

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are carbon tubes with diameters that are typically measured in nanometers. Carbon nanotubes often refer to single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with a diameter in the nanometer range. Although not manufactured this way, singlewalled carbon nanotubes are wound along one of the Bravais lattice vectors of a hexagonal lattice as a section of a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms that forms a hollow column. It can be idealized. This design imposes periodic boundary conditions along the length of this curling vector, producing a spiral lattice of carbon atoms seamlessly connected to the surface of the cylinder.
