Serpentine polymorphism: A quantitative insight from first-principles calculations

Single-walled chrysotile nanotubes [...] of increasing size (up to 5004 atoms per unit cell, corresponding to a radius of 205 Å) have been modelled at the Density Functional level of theory. For the first time, it is demonstrated that the (n, -n) and (n, n) series present a minimum energy structure...
