heal.abstract	In a recent publication Lei et al.(1) calculated the enhancement factor of a gated open nanotube (NT) simulated as a cylindrically folded, zero-thickness sheet of metal. In this comment we argue that (a) the form of the tube (zero thickness) leads to unphysical results and (b) the method of calculation of the enhancement factor is wrong both physically and mathematically, leading to totally irrelevant information about the strength of the tunneling barrier of an electron emitted from the NT.
