Abstract
Nanotubes (NT) representing a combination of BN and SiC units were calculated. The energy spectra, charge distribution, total energies, and geometry optimization were calculated in the framework of the electron density functional theory using the Gaussian-98 program package. It was shown for chair-shaped NT(4,4), which are the combination of BN-SiC-BN and SiC-BN-SiC rings, can exist as corrugated tubes retaining the strength and conduction characteristic of silicon carbide nanotubes.
