Magical Mathematical Formulas for Nanoboxes

Abstract Hollow nanostructures are at the forefront of many scientific endeavors. These consist of nanoboxes, nanocages, nanoframes, and nanotubes. We examine the mathematics of atomic coordination in nanoboxes. Such structures consist of a hollow box with n shells and t outer layers. The magical fo...
