Hello, I am a beginner in SIESTA and Carbon Nanotubes and would like to know
if someone could me give some direction. I have searched in Carbon Nanotubes
literature about the Lattice Vectors of this structures but I can not see a
relationship between this and the LatticeVectors block that I need define to
SIESTA execution, especially in the SIESTA Carbon Nanotube (5,0) example in
the /Tests folder of SIESTA, for example:

LatticeConstant    25.0 Ang   # Lattice constant alat
%block LatticeVectors               # Lattice vectors, in units of alat
 1.0      0.0000     0.0
-0.50     0.86602540378444   0.00
 0.0      0.0       0.1704      # distance along z ==> dCC=1.42  AA
%endblock LatticeVectors

How can I get this LatticeVectors? Is it calculated from a software? I am
sorry if this is redundant, but I could not find this information yet. Any
direction will be very usefull. Thanks so much.
