(color online) Band structures of hybrid X-Mo-Y nanotubes. (a) Zigzag hybrid SWNT O-Mo-S (8, 0). (b)–(d) DWNTs consisted of O-Mo-S (8, 0) and hybrid X-Mo-Y (20, 0) (X-Mo-Y = S-Mo-Se, O-Mo-Se, O-Mo-S) nanotubes. (e) DWNTs O-Mo-S(8, 0)@O-Mo-S(28, 0). (f) Armchair hybrid SWNT O-Mo-S (4, 4). (g)–(i) DWNTs consisted of O-Mo-S (4, 4) and hybrid X-Mo-Y (10,10) (X-Mo-Y = S-Mo-Se, O-Mo-Se, O-Mo-S) nanotubes. (j) O-Mo-S(4, 4)@O-Mo-S(14, 14). The blue lines are contributed by the inner nanotubes and the red lines are contributed by the outer nanotubes.
