Question: 3 . ( 1 5 marks each ) Assume the ( ( 7 , 3 ) ) single - walled carbon nanotubes (

3.(15 marks each) Assume the \((7,3)\) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in a nanotube bundle prepared by chemical vapor deposition are well aligned. Answer the following questions:
(a) Are these chiral or zigzag or armchair SWCNTs?
(b) What is the diameter of the SWCNTs? The C-C bond length is \(\mathrm{a}=0.143\mathrm{~nm}\).
(c) Explain briefly why the mechanical strength of \((7,3)\) SWCNTs estimated from the tensile curves for the nanotube bundle is much different with that directly measured on an individual \((7,3)\) SWCNT.
