Impact of a low-energy Ar ion on a single-walled (10,10) armchair nanotube. A double vacancy is formed
in the upper part of the nanotube and two adatoms in the lower. More details can be found here.
Impact of an energetic Ar on a single-walled (10,10) armchair nanotube lying
on a Pt substrate. The view along the tube axis.

Fullerene impact on a single-walled (10,10) armchair nanotube lying
on a metallic substrate. Nanotube-based quantum dots may potentially be produced
if fullerenes hit the nanotubes in predetermined positions.
