Abstract

Chirality is a very important property in nanomaterials due to its possible implications in processes such as asymmetric catalysis
and chiroptical phenomena. Carbon nanotubes can be classified according to their chiral vector and some of their properties change
depending on the values of that vector. In this work we use the Hausdorff chirality measure (HCM) to geometrically quantify the
chirality of carbon nanotubes with different chiral vectors. The calculated HCM values can be used to make preliminary predictions
regarding the optical response of carbon nanotubes.
