A first principle study of encapsulated and functionalized silicon nanotube of chirality (6,6) with monoatomically thin metal wires of Ag, Au and Cu

Tuned electronic, optical and mechanical properties of pristine and hetero nanotubes of group IV elements (C, Si and Ge)

“…To compare the stability of the systems under study, we have calculated the cohesive energy per atom (E c ), for each system using the following formula [33,47]:…”
