8. c, it is not necessary to do so due to the current objective of the model.
9. H of each bond of the chain may exist fluctuation. But for a short chain (N<5), we can use the average value of the free energies, and the fluctuation can further be neglected.

12. a is not important, so as ΔG changes from >0 to <0 (the external field H changes its direction in the equivalent Ising model), a sharp transition from empty to filled states comes to appear (the magnetic moment changes its direction sharply).
13. The 27 Å nanotube used in the recent MD simulations has 11 graphene unit cells along its axis and the 13.5 Ånanotube have 5.5 graphene unit cells.
14. ain the25.8 Å nanotube should be far lower than that in the 13.5 Å nanotube. Even though, due to the positive ΔG, thefree energy of the empty state may be still lower than that of the filled state.
