Lithium niobate film on insulator (LNOI) is a promising photonic platform due to its large transparency window, strong second-order nonlinear optical properties, and ultralow-loss

The value of the mid-surface radius for different PENS are presented as following: for single-walled PENS (SWPENS): R = Rout; for double-walled PENS (DWPENS): R1 = Rin, R2 = Rout; and for triple-walled PENS (TWPENS): R1 = Rin, R2 = Rmid, R3 = Rout. Surface/interface effects on dimensionless

• case of higher surface/interface density (case 1), the inertia of the shell is increased and its stiffness is reduced, which leads to a decreased DNF compared to the case without surface/interface effects. Also, with decreasing surface/interface density (case 2), the inertia of the system is increased
