Nanotube

Rotating single-walled zigzag carbon nanotube

A nanotube is a nanometer-scale hollow tube-like structure.

Kinds of nanotubes

  • BCN nanotube, composed of comparable amounts of boron, carbon, and nitrogen atoms
  • Boron nitride nanotube, a polymorph of boron nitride[1][2]
  • Carbon nanotube, includes general nanotube terminology and diagrams
  • DNA nanotube, a two-dimensional lattice which curves back upon itself,[3] somewhat similar in size and shape to a carbon nanotube
  • Gallium nitride nanotube, a nanotube of gallium nitride
  • Silicon nanotube, made of silicon atoms[4]
  • Non-carbon nanotube, especially tungsten(IV) sulfide nanotubes[5]
  • Tunneling nanotube, a tubular membrane connection between cells
  • Titanium nanotubes, created by the conversion of the mineral anatase by hydrothermal synthesis[6]

Nanotubes builders

  • Chiraltube. Atomistic builder for any nanotubes with any chirality from any 2D material.[7]
  • TubeASP. For carbon nanotubes.
  • Nanotuve Modeler. For carbon nanotubes only.
