+nanowires. We find the optimum interwire distance depends on
+composition and to a smaller degree on the orientation of the wires.
+Structural order is expected in bundles with x=0 and x=6,
+since there is no disorder in the decoration of the Mo clusters.
+In bundles with other stoichiometries we expect structural disorder to occur.
+We find that the electronic structure of some nanowires can be switched
+from metallic to semiconducting by changing the interwire separation.
+Also, we find that selected stable or metastable nanowire geometries exhibit
+ferromagnetic behavior.
+The most intriguing changes occur in nanowires with x=4.5 and 6,
+which change from metal to semiconductor or undergo a magnetic transition
+upon axially stretching or compressing the nanowires or upon changing
+the inter-wire separation.
