Substantial reduction of Stone-Wales activation barrier in fullerene

Stone-Wales (SW) transformation is a key mechanism responsible for the growth, transformation, and fusion in fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and other carbon nanostructures. These topological defects also substantially alter the physical and chemical properties of the carbon nanostructures. However, t...
