Abstract: The thermally activated annealing of topological Stone–Wales defects in carbon fullerenes and nanotubes is studied via molecular dynamics. The temperature dependences of characteristic times are shown to obey the Arrhenius law. The values of the relevant activation energies and frequency factors are found. The results are compared with the simulated potential energy surface data.
