Everybody knows that cardboard paper can be a highly
anisotropic material. You can easily bend or roll it in one direction
and it is stiff in the other. If you take a close look you will find
that the paper is periodically buckled along one direction. We have now
exploited this phenomenon on the nanoscale to define the roll-up
direction of ultra-thin membranes on a substrate surface.

Nanotube geometry

Hi folks! I deal with buckling nanostructures, contact problem of nanostructures. And i have a problem with geometry construction of nanotube with arbitrary (n, m) chirality. Can any one write the algorithm for building nanotube geometry in 3d space(xyz-Cartesian coordinate system).  Many thanks!
