1 | Liu, Feng | Geometric constant defining shape transitions of carbon nanotubes under pressure | We demonstrate that when a single-walled carbon nanotube is under pressure it undergoes a series of shape transitions, first transforming from a circle to an oval and then from an oval to a peanut. Most remarkably, the ratio of the area of the tube cross sections at the second transition over that ... | Geometric constant; Shape transitions; Carbon nanotubes; Pressure | 2004-03 |
