How Can I Start Writing a Science Paper on Carbon Nanotubes?

[NRock]

I'm new here, so sorry if this is in the wrong place. I'm writing a paper on Carbon Nanotubes for my Intro to Modern Physics class. I suck at writing science research papers, primarily because I never know where to begin. I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of some reputable (meaning I can cite it) introductory material on carbon nanotubes or other carbon nano structures. Preferably things available online or that could be counted on being in the typical university library. In particular information on the meaning and importance of arm chair and chiral states would be great, but other things would be just as appreciated.

I can formulas up to multivariable calculus, but would be taking most difficult Diff EQ stuff on faith

For a good introduction to Carbon Nanotubes, I recommend checking out the book "Carbon Nanotubes: Synthesis, Structure, Properties and Applications" by M. S. Dresselhaus, G. Dresselhaus, and R. Saito. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the properties and applications of carbon nanotubes, including information on armchair and chiral states. Additionally, you can find many resources online that provide additional information on carbon nanotubes and other carbon nano structures. For example, you can find a number of articles from reputable journals on the topic, such as the Journal of Nanoparticle Research, the International Journal of Nanotechnology, and the Journal of Materials Science. Additionally, there are many websites dedicated to providing information about carbon nanotubes, such as the National Nanotechnology Initiative website and the Carbon Nanotube Information Center.
