Abstract
⺠A study of fullerene hemisphere spin-optimized capped finite SiC nanotubes. ⺠Carbon-capped SiC nanotubes are energetically more preferred than silicon-capped. ⺠The binding energy per atom of a SiC nanotube (5,5) is, for example, 5.989 eV. ⺠HOMO-LUMO gaps of capped nanotubes are less than those of infinite nanotubes. ⺠Implications and applications in the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
