Carbon doping induces shorter Sb-C/C-C bonds that distort local Sb structures, increasing three-coordinated Sb atoms and disrupting crystalline order. This structural modification suppresses crystallization and elevates crystallization temperatures. Additionally, carbon doping breaks resonant bonding in Sb, generating lone-pair electrons that enhance resistivity and reduce switching power.

The majority of experimental studies on these materials focus on the structural and optical properties of MoS<sub>2</sub> and WS<sub>2</sub> multi-walled nanotubes (MWNTs).

Only a limited number of studies have synthesized and explored the MWNTs based on HfS<sub>2</sub> and HfSe<sub>2</sub>. Theoretical researches mainly include density functional theory (DFT) calculations for single-, double-, and triple-walled nanotubes with relatively small diameters. We propose new atomistic potentials designed to model the MWNTs based on W and Hf dichalcogenides, whose diameters approach the experimentally observed ones and are beyond the capabilities of ab initio methods. The developed force fields have been applied to the study of the structure and stability of achiral nanotubes, which are composed of 1–10 single-wall components. The properties of WX<sub>2</sub>-based nanotubes are compared with those of analogous HfX<sub>2</sub>-based nanotubes (X = S, Se). In particular, it has been shown that HfX<sub>2</sub> multi-walled nanotubes are much more faceted than similar WX<sub>2</sub> multi-walled nanotubes. The stability of multi-walled nanotubes with respect to single-wall components and nanolayers was investigated. For the first time, it has been found that the binding energy of achiral MWNTs is a linear function of the inverse wall number.
