B DFT Models
Model isotherms were calculated using the prescriptions of Tarazona for density dependent
weighting functions and cylindrical pore geometry. The pore wall potential is described by the
Lennard-Jones potential of interaction between a gas molecule and the graphitic surface of an
infinitely long cylinder.
This model is particularly useful for characterizing carbon single-wall nanotubes. The reported
pore size range is from 3.5 to 1000 angstroms.

Model isotherms were calculated using the prescriptions of Tarazona for density dependent
weighting functions and cylindrical pore geometry. The pore wall potential is described by the
Lennard-Jones potential of interaction between a gas molecule and multiple concentric graphitic
surfaces of infinitely long cylinders.
