“…As shown in Figure 2, six defected CCNTs are built by periodically introducing the SW and vacancy defects in the different positions of CNT segments. Since the previous studies found that the stress is mainly concentrated at the inner edge of the CCNTs [21,23], the defects are only arranged near the inner edge. According to the relative position of SW defects and the essential heptagon defects in the inner edge of CNT segments, the defects in the middle of two adjacent heptagon defects are identified as the first type SW defects (i.e., (2,3,7,1)/sw1), as shown in Figure 2b.…”
