Carbon nanotube knots
The structural and mechanical properties of carbon nanotube knots are investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. Using parametric representations of mathematical (harmonic) knots, a method is provided for calculating the initial atomic coordinates of carbon nanotubes in the shape of arbitrar...
