Numerical Generation of Nanotube Caps II. Exact Results Up to (10, 10)

Abstract

Abstract The numerical algorithm for cap generation [1] is further developed. the cap unfolding method proposed in ref. [2] is used. Some aspects of the cap unfolding onto the honeycomb lattice [3] are also considered. Topological invariants of the cap structures are used to eliminate the duplicate structures. the list of all distinct IPR (5, 5) - (10, 10) caps structures is generated.
