Contribution

It introduces a method to calculate scattering cross sections for zigzag nanotubes considering their orientation and employs the eikonal and continuous potential approximations.

Findings

Differential cross sections depend on nanotube orientation.

The eikonal approximation effectively models quantum scattering.

Results provide insights into particle-nanotube interactions.

Abstract

A fast charged particle scattering on a single-wall carbon nanotube of zigzag type was considered. The differential cross sections of scattering on nanotubes of different spatial orientation with respect to the incident particles were obtained. The eikonal approximation of quantum electrodynamics and the continuous potential approximation were used.
