The semi-empirical bandgap Eg is calculated following H. Yorikawa and S. Muramatsu, Phys. Rev. B 52,
2723 (1995) for the semiconducting tubes (no curvature effects; |Vppp|=2.7 and g=0.43) and A. Kleiner
and S. Eggert, Phys. Rev. B 63, 073408 (2001) for the semi-metallic tubes (includes curvature; |Vppp|=2.7).
All other values are evaluated from the expressions below.

Virtual NanoLab & Atomistix ToolKit

Virtual NanoLab (see screenshot to the right) is Atomistix' user-friendly software package
with unique features for simulation and analysis of the properties of nanoscale devices. The
program provides intuitive and comprehensive tools for gaining insight into the electronic
structure and transport properties of nanoscale systems in an easy-to-use graphical
interface.
The basic design idea of Virtual NanoLab is to allow users the opportunity to use state-ofthe-art atomic scale modelling in a simple and intuitive way. The engine behind Virtual
NanoLab is the Atomistix ToolKit (see detailed list of features bottom right) which provides
access to very advanced quantum-chemical modeling techniques. The program is however
designed such that it is not necessary to be an expert in quantum chemistry or electronic
structure calculations to use these methods; instead, the user can focus on the physical
properties of the systems under investigation, and let the program worry about the details
of the numerical models.
Both specialists and users without extensive training within the fields of many-body physics
and computer modelling can use Virtual NanoLab to obtain accurate predictions of the
physics and chemistry of nanoscale devices, and can thereby save large amounts of time
and money by simulating device performance before attempting actual implementation.
Virtual NanoLab has a solid foundation in over 10 years of research in theoretical physics,
quantum chemistry and electron transport theory. Through continued collaboration with
leading companies and academic institutions within these research fields, Atomistix
ensures that we can continue to offer the best technical products in the market of nanoscale
modeling.
The numerical engine behind Virtual NanoLab is the Atomistix ToolKit, a set of state-of-the-art
electronic structure methods integrated into the same software design.
