Abstract
Methods for the formation of nanotube from thin films are provided. The methods involve the adsorption of atoms to the surface of the films. The adsorbed atoms introduce surface stress, inducing a curvature in the films. The curvature is sufficient to bring atoms at the edges into sufficiently close proximity to form covalent bonds. Other methods include the step of desorbing the atoms from the surface of the film. The films may comprise a variety of nanomaterials, including graphene sheets and semiconductor thin films.
