Surface effects on the persistence length of nanowires and nanotubes

Surface effects on the persistence length of quasi-one-dimensional nanomaterials are investigated by using the theory of surface elasticity and the core–shell model of nanobeams. A simple and unified expression is provided to determine the persistence length of nanowires and nanotubes with any regul...
