Abstract

A novel mechanism of SWNT nucleation is considered in oppose to an existing model. The latter model based on the formation of a hemispherical carbon bowl nucleus has no correct description within the thermodynamics and kinetics of the nucleation process. The new mechanism can explain the prevalent formation of [10,10] armchair nanotube on the base of the continuum graphene energetics.
