Figure 7
Simulation of zigzag nanotubes. The initial (a) and the final (b) structures are shown. The simulation parameters are the following: 1000 K simulation temperature, 26.27 Å of length, and 9.84 Å of width for the parallel nanoribbons. The distances between the atoms to be bonded are in order and at the zigzag and armchair sides of the ribbons.
