Polygonal model for layered inorganic nanotubes

Multiwalled inorganic nanotubes with circular cross sections must have either an incoherent interface or a large amount of strain. However, nanotubes with a polygonal cross section can have a coherent interface with considerably less strain. We present a model for polygonal nanotubes with no defects...
