30. Another reason for considering the SP 3 defect is that we have performed a comparative study between the Frenkel pair and the SP 3 defect type in DWNTs and observed that the Frenkel pair is less stable than the SP 3. We also have done some high-temperature molecular-dynamics simulations that show that Frenkel pair defects evolve to SP 3 ones.

39. Our estimates of the energy barrier to break the s p 3 bond between the inner and outer walls and recover the perfect DWNT, using the AIREBO potential, is ∼ 1 eV per s p 3 bond. This value is similar to the corresponding energy barrier for a Frenkel pair defect in two layers of graphene, ∼ 1.4 eV (see Ref.).
