These authors consider carbon nanotubes with a pentagon and a heptagon on opposite sides of the tube perimeter. Thus, they consider tubes of a maximum bend angle, in contrast to the adjacent pentagon-heptagon minimum bend angle tubes that we study here.

15. There is a work in which the conductance of connected carbon nanotubes is calculated, R. Saito, G. Dresselhaus and M. S. Dresselhaus, Phys. Rev. B 53, 2044 (1996). However, in the cases studied by these authors the pentagon and heptagon are not adjacent.
