51. We have found that the difference between the inequivalent bond lengths is extremely sensitive to the k-point sampling. The behavior shown in Fig. 11(a) has been checked in two ways: (i) by comparing the tube results with the relaxations of a graphene sheet with an identical k-point sampling, and (ii) using more complete k samplings in the tube calculations. In both cases the same behavior as presented in Fig. 11(a) was found when the bond lengths are expressed in units of the corresponding bond distances for graphene calculated with equivalent sampling. The absolute lengths are more difficult to converge, being inverted for the samplings used in Ref. 7.

61. This data is in agreement with ab initio pseudopotential plane-wave calculations of the Poisson ratio in carbon nanotubes. The computed values of 0.151 and 0.180 for the (5,5) and (10,0) nanotubes are in excellent agreement with the present calculations of 0.14 and 0.19, respectively.
