Sažetak

With the growth of nanotechnology, many attempts have been made on the chemical and physical
properties of nanostructures. Due to relation between physical properties and geometrical
structure, understanding of the geometrical structure is very important. Moreover, this can be
useful for finding unknown structures that have not been produced in laboratory yet. In the
present work, first we have investigated the structure of some nanostructures from the geometrical
point of view. Then an algorithm is proposed for discovering the number of carbon
atoms in various nanotubes and fullerenes. In the presented algorithm, a nanosheet in 2D space
is considered as a start point. Creating twelve nanocones in nanosheet makes it a nanostructure.
Different nanostructures are produced by relocation of nanocones. The result shows that the
number of carbon atoms in different nanostructures is a sequence that has infinite harmonies
and follows a simple formula. Each harmony is an arithmetic progression.
