Abstract
In most cases, the silicon carbide nanotubes have been fabricated with assistance of some templates. Unlike carbon nanotubes, the silicon carbide nanotubes contain two types of elements, silicon, and carbon; therefore, the structure of the SiC nanotube is basically different from that of the carbon nanotube.
