Abstract: Quantum chemical and molecular dynamics studies of nanotubes decorated with atoms of various elements are surveyed. The effect of adsorption of hydrogen, oxygen, alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, d-metal, halogen, and inert gas atoms on external walls of carbon nanotubes on the structure and electronic or other physicochemical properties of nanotubes is considered. The results of simulation of the properties of some atom-decorated non-carbon nanotubes (BN, BC_x, B_xC_yN_z) are briefly discussed. The bibliography includes 332 references.
