DIFFRACTION FROM NANOTUBES AND QUASI ONE-DIMENSIONAL CRYSTALS
Abstract
Quasi one-dimensional systems, including bio-polymers, nanotubes, nanowires, etc., are in focus of material science and technology for more than two decades. Using recently found quasi one-dimensional conformation classes, which are elementary building blocks of all quasi one-dimensional crystals, we make symmetry based study of their diffraction patterns. In particular, we single out the features distinguishing between the classes, thus enabling to characterize each of them. It turns out that this analysis suffices to find out chiral indices of carbon nanotubes.
