  • Abstract
    A growth mechanism on a catalyst particle at a molecular level is described, leading to perfect carbon tubules and tubule connections. The suggested mechanism explains the formation of curved (chiral or achiral) nanotubes, tori or coils using the heptagon-pentagon construction proposed by Dunlap.
