Figure 6.
Inverse of the lowest transition energies ΔE|| and ΔE⊥ (see text) as a function of tube length computed at the B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory. The inverse of the HOMO/LUMO gap, Eg, is shown for comparison. is scaled by 0.5 to fit into the figure. Transition energies and the HOMO/LUMO gap are shown in the inset.
