The simplest sculpturenes are periodic nanotubes, containing lines of non-hexagonal rings. More complex sculpturenes formed from shapes with non-trivial topologies, connectivities and materials combinations may also be constructed. Results are presented for the reconstructed geometries, electronic densities of states and current-voltage relations of these new structures.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-09-02T21:02:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "electrical properties", "simplest sculpturenes", "bilayer graphene", "graphene-boron-nitride hetero-bilayers", "periodic nanotubes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
