Computational studies of torsional properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes

Current thesis presents computational studies of the torsional twist in single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Since SWCNTs can be viewed as rolled up graphene sheets, our aim is to explain their torsion constants via shear mod- ulus of graphene in pristine, and single- and double vacancy cases...
