The energetics of finite-length achiral nanotubes is discussd within the tight binding model at first. Comgining the strain energies ad the edge formation energies calculated by the tight binding model, we obtain the total energy of the finite-length nanotube as a, 2000, Includes bibliographical references}, school = {筑波大学, University of Tsukuba}, title = {Theoretical study for microscopic mechanisms of carbon nanotube growth}, year = {2001} }
