Click here to view one large-screen applet.
|
This is a (5,5) armchair nanotube with six unit cells.
|
This is a (9,0) zigzag nanotube also with six unit cells
|
The right mouse button will bring up a menu and the following mouse actions can also be used to control the applet even
while the animation is playing:
- Left Mouse Button -
rotates the molecule in x and y dimensions
- Shift-Right Mouse Button -
horizontal movement of the mouse rotates the molecule
in the z dimension
- Ctrl-Right Mouse Button -
translates (moves) the molecule
- Shift-Left Mouse Button -
vertical movement of the mouse zooms in and out
Generate your own nanotube coordinates with the source. To learn more about nanotubes go to the Nanotube Site.
