Investigation of the effects of oxygen absorption on the two types of single walled silicon carbide nanotubes (SWSiCNTs) with different chiral angles were done. Our calculations were performed using density functional theory with quantum ESPRESSO and YAMBO codes. Changes in electrical and optical pr...
