The structural performance of double-walled C(5, 5)@BN(10, 10) and C(5, 5)@C(10, 10) nanotubes subject to high temperatures is investigated through molecular dynamics simulations. It is found that the inner tube C(5, 5) in the C(5, 5)@BN(10, 10) exhibits less distortion than that in the C(5, 5)@C(10...
