Single-layered chrysotile nanotubes: A quantum mechanical ab initio simulation

Chrysotile single-layered nanotubes, obtained by wrapping the Mg3Si2O5OH4 lizardite monolayeralong the n,-n hexagonal lattice vector, are simulated at the ab initio level by using an all electron6-31G basis set and the B3LYP functional for n varying from 14 to 24 the nanotube radius Rreferred to the...
