44. The n = 3 nanotubes have been ignored, as their structure was found to alter significantly from the ideal CNT structure, in keeping with the results of Ref. 8.

51. These values are only approximate however due to uncertainties, the largest of which is the quality of the "best fit" to the calculated values; especially in the case of the diamond nanowires. Uncertainties have not been shown for the purposes of clarity.
