Nanostructures resulting from the incorporation of silver iodide into single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) of various diameters have been studied using molecular dynamics simulation. The results indicate the formation of single-wall silver iodide nanotubes when the SWCNT diameter is within 14.2 Å, whereas thicker carbon tubes contain, in addition, an axial "filament" of silver and iodide ions. AgI nanotubes in SWCNTs typically have a hexagonal structure (with the ions in trigonal coordination).
