We investigate the stable structures of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) on Ni(111) and when a SWNT is filled with Fe wire on Ni(111), based on density functional theory. We find stable geometries and electronic states for the nanotube on Ni(111). We propose the possibility that the C–C bonds...
