About CoNTub
Our research group has developed the first computer program for determining the coordinates
of heterojunctions between two arbitrary carbon nanotubes. This software is a set of tools dedicated
to the construction of complex carbon nanotube structures for their use in computational chemistry.
CoNTub v1.0 allows you to generate easily the geometry of two-tube heterojunctions, single walled
nanotubes (SWNT) and multi-walled nanotubes (MWNT). CoNTub v2.0 builds C3-symmetric Y-junctions.
New versions of CoNTub will allow you to generate other
structures like Goldberg fullerenes, generalized Y-junctions, cones or different complex structures based on carbon nanotubes.
