Relative Stability and Local Curvature Analysis in Carbon Nanotori [PDF]
We introduce a concise formalism to characterize nanometer-sized tori based on carbon nanotubes and to determine their stability by combining {\em ab initio} density functional calculations with a continuum elasticity theory approach that requires only ...

Energy levels in polarization superlattices: a comparison of continuum strain models [PDF]
A theoretical model for the energy levels in polarization superlattices is presented. The model includes the effect of strain on the local polarization-induced electric fields and the subsequent effect on the energy levels.
