Abstract

Unlike carbon nanotubes, nanostructures of Ge, a group IV semiconductor, have not been fully explored. In particular, there is limited data available on Germanium-based nanotubes. The aim of this thesis is to explore the structural and electronic properties of Germanium based nanotubes and their potential future electronic applications. We have thus performed a systematic ab initio study of the electronic and geometric structures of three different types of single-walled SiGe and GeC nanotubes in armchair (n, n) and zigzag (n, 0) (3
