English abstract:
In the present work the theorem of stationarity of the potential energy is used to find the equilibrium distance between two carbon onion layers, modeled as continuum shells and coupled via van der Waals interactions. The equilibrium distances received for different double layered carbon onion structures compare well with results obtained by simplified methods proposed in literature for plane graphene. However, the displacement results of the simplified models, which - in contrast to the method described here - do not cover any curvature effects, are not satisfactory.
