Background:

Experimentally synthesized carbon nanotube (CNT) junctions exhibit random defect orientations, impacting their properties.
Theoretical studies often simplify junctions, neglecting realistic topological disorder.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a computational framework for modeling CNT junctions with arbitrary spatial and intrinsic specifications.
To enable the investigation of structure-property relationships in CNT junctions with tunable defects.

Main Methods:

Utilized a primal/dual meshing concept for junction node development.
Converted triangular meshes (primal) to honeycomb meshes (dual) for sp² hybridized CNT junctions.
Incorporated defect annihilation approaches to tune topological defects.

Main Results:

Generated diverse CNT junction configurations with varying energetic stability.
Demonstrated the framework's ability to model multi-junction clusters and 3D random networks.
Provided a method to study the effect of topological defects on mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties.

Conclusions:

The developed computational framework accurately models complex CNT junctions with controllable defects.
This approach facilitates a deeper understanding of how junction topology influences material properties.
The methodology is extensible to various complex carbon nanostructure configurations.
