Structural, electronic and mechanical properties of inner surface modified imogolite nanotubes

The electronic, structural and mechanical properties of the modified imogolites have been investigated using self consistent charge-density functional-tight binding method with a posteriori treatment of the dispersion interaction (SCC-DFTB-D). The zigzag (12,0) imogolite has been used as the initial...
