Five different optimized Sn nanowires embedded in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are obtained by means of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Growth of Sn nanowires follows a helical or parallel pattern in confined space. Optimized Sn nanowires subject to compression are investigated. Resul...
