compute_tube_mass

sknano.core.structures.compute_tube_mass(*Ch, nz=1, element1=None, element2=None)

Compute nanotube mass in grams.

Parameters:

• *Ch –

  Either a 2-tuple of ints or 2 integers giving the chiral indices of 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
• element2 (element1,) – Element symbol or atomic number of basis Atom 1 and 2

Returns:

Nanotube mass in grams.

Return type:

float

Notes

Todo

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