Meshing Highly Regular Structures: The Case of Super Carbon Nanotubes of Arbitrary Order

Figure 1

Hierarchy of a super carbon nanotube. Each hierarchy level is composed of elements of the preceding hierarchy level. Starting with the carbon-carbon bond (i), it is thus possible to obtain super carbon nanotubes (SCNTs) of arbitrary order. The image is based on data obtained by the graph-based HGM method.
