sknano.structures.compute_tube_mass¶

sknano.structures.compute_tube_mass(n, m, nz, element1=None, element2=None, **kwargs)[source][source]¶

Compute nanotube mass in grams.

Parameters:

Parameters:	n, m : int Chiral indices defining the nanotube chiral vector \(\mathbf{C}_h = n\mathbf{a}_1 + m\mathbf{a}_2 = (n, m)\). nz : {int, float} Number of nanotube unit cells element1, element2 : {str, int}, optional Element symbol or atomic number of basis `Atom` 1 and 2
Returns:	float Nanotube mass in grams.

n, m : int

Chiral indices defining the nanotube chiral vector \(\mathbf{C}_h = n\mathbf{a}_1 + m\mathbf{a}_2 = (n, m)\).

nz : {int, float}

Number of nanotube unit cells

element1, element2 : {str, int}, optional

Element symbol or atomic number of basis Atom 1 and 2

Returns:

float

Nanotube mass in grams.

Notes

Todo

Handle different elements and perform accurate calculation by determining number of atoms of each element.
