Abstract

Boron and carbon nanotubes and related armchair and zigzag structures are presented and their mechanical, optical and electronic properties and stabilities are discussed. The theoretical and experimental results of both elements in the form of single-, double-, and multi-walled nanotubes are illustrated. The precursors of buckled, \(\alpha \)- and \(\gamma \)-sheets rolling up into nanotubes are indicated. The potential applications of these structures are proposed.
