23. Although a pair of hexagons should appear for each nanorube, we only observed one hexagon for the inner tube in ED pattern, which is typical for an achiral tube diffraction.
24. A part of DWNT, where the electron beam is parallel to the graphene sheet, is regarded as the convolution of two double slits with spacings of D and d, respectively. Equatorial line is represented by the Fourier transform of this region.

26. Here, exactly speaking, interplanar spacing means "interlinear" spacing, because of the two-dimensional graphene sheet.

28. R is the greatest common divisor for the values of 2n+m and n+2m. If |T| is relatively small, the tube often has high symmetry normal to the tube axis which leads discrete rotation.
