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 will allow you to generate other
structures like Y-junctions, cones or different complex nanotube structures.
Access to CoNTub Versions:
- CoNTub v1.0
- CoNTub v1.5 Well I admit that the period has expired.
- New Features of CoNTub v1.5:
- fix some error to generate some heterojunctions
- a new algorithm to build Goldberg fullerenes
Well, let's be more realistic about the release of newer versions of CoNTub. CoNTub 1.5 was intended to have some enhancements, but the whole project is under redesign. Future version wil not need Java software installed in your computer. Instead, a Web form will appear, and simple text/html and images will appear in the browser. This will be CoNTub v2. This needs time, but I estimate that not later than this summer everything should be fixed.
