1. Carbon nanotube bandstructure

   Animations | 22 Apr 2010 | Contributor(s):: Saumitra Raj Mehrotra, Gerhard Klimeck

   Carbon nanotubes are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure, and can be categorized into single-walled nanotubes (SWNT) and multi-walled nanotubes (MWNT). These cylindrical carbon molecules have novel properties that make them potentially useful in many nanotechnology applications,...

2. Graphene nanoribbon bandstructure

   Animations | 17 Apr 2010 | Contributor(s):: Saumitra Raj Mehrotra, Gerhard Klimeck

   Graphene nanoribbons (often abbreviated as GNR) are planar strips of graphene with a thickness of approximately one atom. Carbon atoms in graphene are sp2-hybridized with a carbon-carbon bond length of approximately 0.142 nm. As an electronic material, graphene exhibits many desirable properties,...
