The deformation of graphite surface and carbon nanotube under nanotube tip was examined with the help of a molecular mechanics calculation. We have used Brenner potential for the covalent interactions. The tip-surface and interlayer interactions were described by Lennard-Jones potential. The 21 nm long tip contained 1680 carbon atoms and had the form of a (5,5) nanotube closed by two halves of a C₆₀ molecule at the ends.
