51. For recent progress in the GW method, see, for example, F. Aryasetiawan and O. Gunnarsson, Rep. Prog. Phys. RPPHAG 0034-4885 10.1088/0034-4885/61/3/002 61, 237 (1998).
52. The GW method has recently been applied in a study of (n,0) zigzag carbon nanotubes [T. Miyake and S. Saito, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.68.155424 68, 155424 (2003)]
53. and the calculated corrections are found to be small. On the other hand, important excitonic effects in carbon nanotubes have been explained by performing first-principles many-body Green's function calculations [C. D. Spataru, S. Ismail-Beigi, L. X. Benedict, and S. G. Louie, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.92.077402 92, 077402 (2004)].

56. The methodology of the TRANSIESTA-C software package is described in M. Brandbyge, J.-L. Mozos, P. Ordejón, J. Taylor, and K. Stokbro, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.65.165401 65, 165401 (2002). The software was provided by Atomistix Corp.
57. In our earlier preliminary study of string structures [S. Tongay, E. Durgun and S. Ciraci, Appl. Phys. Lett. APPLAB 0003-6951 10.1063/1.1839647 85, 6179 (2004)], the LC structure was identified as a stable structure. Although this conclusion is essentially true for C and BN, a detailed analysis of the Born-Oppenheimer surface in the current study has revealed that planar WZ or NZ structures can form in relatively lower energies for Si, Ge, Sn, GaAs, etc. The potential barrier between LC and WZ structures may be very small, even zero. Transverse displacements of alternating atoms can transform a freestanding LC to a WZ structure. The stability of NZ structure of compounds can be conspicuous owing to the polarity of the atoms, and nonplanar structures of the chains with lower energies can be achieved through out-of-plane displacements of the atoms in the NZ geometry.
