Electronic structure of chiral graphene tubules

Abstract
The electronic structure for graphene monolayer tubules is predicted as a function of the diameter and helicity of the constituent graphene tubules. The calculated results show that approximately 1/3 of these tubules are a one‐dimensional metal which is stable against a Peierls distortion, and the other 2/3 are one‐dimensional semiconductors. The implications of these results are discussed.
