Structural, electronic, and optical properties of α-Te tubular nanostructures: A first-principles study

We employed density functional theory to investigate the structural, electronic, and optical properties of α-Te tubular nanostructures. These α-Te tube-like structures, which are similar to carbon nanotubes in terms of their armchair and zigzag structures, are semiconductors with moderate bandgaps....
