István László ; Institute of Physics and Center for Applied Mathematics and Computational Physics, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Budapest, Hungary

Abstract

Diophantic equations are developed for constructing junctions between single wall nanotubes
of any chirality and diameter. The solution of these equations makes it possible to find the
Descartes coordinates of the carbon atoms in the structures. An example is given for a three
terminal junction.

Keywords

nanotubes; junctions; manifold; diophantic equations
