Elastic Properties of C and BxCyNz Composite Nanotubes

We present a comparative study of the energetic, structural, and elastic properties of carbon and composite single-wall nanotubes, including BN, ${\mathrm{BC}}_{3}$, and ${\mathrm{BC}}_{2}\mathrm{N}$ nanotubes, using a nonorthogonal tight-binding formalism. Our calculations predict that carbon nanot... View More
