Kinetics of Topological Stone–Wales Defect Formation in Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Topological Stone–Wales defect in carbon nanotubes plays a central role in plastic deformation, chemical functionalization, and superstructure formation. Here, we systematically investigate the formation kinetics of such defects within density functional approach coupled with the transition state th...
