Sažetak
In the process of molecular dynamics simulation studies of gold nanowires, an interesting structure is discovered. This is a finite double-wall nanowire with a large empty core similar to single-wall and double-wall carbon nanotubes. The structure of the 16-10 gold nanotube is studied at room temperature. An investigation of the high temperature stability has also been carried out. An unusual inward evaporation of atoms from cylindrical liquid walls is found at T>=1200K.
