The calculation has shown that the spectrum gap of AlN nanotubes is greater than that of BN nanotubes; it equals ∼7 eV (Table 1). The spectra of C-AlN nanotubes should be qualitatively the same as those of C-BN nanotube superlattices. But to calculate them, it is necessary to know their structure in detail. These C-AlN superlattices should be considerably strained because of a difference in C-C and Al-N bond lengths.
