Defects in Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNT)

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the paper the stress-strain of pristine and defective single walled carbon nanotubes are investigated. The defects are in the form of point vacancies. The axial deformations of structures are studied only. A special attention is focused on the effects of material and geometrical properties of nanostructures on the results.
