Review text

The growth of the length of a carbon nanotube at permanent diameter is described by the traveling wave equation \[ \frac{\partial\phi(\xi, \tau)}{\partial\tau} + \Psi(\tau) \frac{\partial\phi(\xi,\tau)}{\partial\xi} = 0, \] where \(\xi\) is the characteristic scale of the interaction of the nanotube and the nucleus, \(\Psi(\tau)\) is the dimensionless growth rate of the nanotube. The traveling wave \(\phi\) is presented as superposition of direct and return waves which correspond to the process of nucleus capturing at the ends of the nanotube.
