Figure 1. Low-temperature view of the water-filled SCWNT.
The SWCNT transverse section is shown to the left side of the panel; the side view to the right. The SWCNT carbon atoms are in dark grey, the oxygen and hydrogen atoms of water molecules are in red and cyan, respectively. The single-file of water molecules is placed along the SWCNT main axis (z-axis), while the octagonal ice-channel wall is about halfway between the water single-file and the SWCNT wall.
