Theory and computer simulation of the moir\'e patterns in single-layer cylindrical particles

Abstract

Basing on the theory for arbitrary oriented surfaces, we developed the theory of the moir\'e effect for cylindrical single-layer objects in the paraxial approximation. With using the dual grids, the moir\'e effect in the plane gratings is simulated, as well as the near-axis moir\'e effect in cylinders including the chiral layouts. The results can be applied to the graphene layers, to single-walled nanotubes, and to cylinders in general.
