Abstract
A model is presented for a quantum well rolled up into a cylinder and is used to describe the electronic structure of tubular clusters of carbon and the systems formed by them. The energy levels of a tubulene molecule are calculated. The estimates of the ionization potential and the nature of the conduction this cluster derived within this model are in agreement with known data.
