โฆ Synopsis
By using ab initio density functional theory, the structural and electronic properties of รฐn; nร@รฐ11; 11ร double-walled silicon carbide nanotubes (SiCNTs) are investigated. Our calculations reveal the existence of an energetically favorable double-walled nanotube whose interwall distance is about 4.3 ร . Interwall spacing and curvature difference are found to be essential for the electronic states around the Fermi level.
