Torsional instability of chiral carbon nanotubes
In this work we investigate the presence of a torsional instability in single-wall carbon nanotubes which causes small diameter chiral carbon nanotubes to show natural torsion. To obtain insight into the nature of this instability, the natural torsion is calculated using an extended tight-binding mo...
