摘要
A thermodynamic model is developed to describe the growth of carbon nanotubes from a droplet of supersaturated carbon melt in a metal catalyst. The model employs molecular mechanics and semiempirical quantum chemistry methods. The results of calculations enable construction of a phase diagram showing the type of nanotube depending on the melt supersaturation with carbon and the droplet radius.
