Collision and adsorption of hydrogen with high incident kinetic energies on a single-walled boron nitride (BN) nanotube have been investigated. Molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations indicate that at incident energies below 14 eV hydrogen bounces off the BN nanotube wall. On the other hand, at incident energies between 14 and 22 eV each hydrogen molecule is dissociated at the exterior wall to form...

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to compute nitrogen-14 and boron-11 nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) spectroscopy parameters in the representative model of armchair boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) for the first time. The considered model consisting of 1 nm length of H-capped (5, 5) single-wall BNNT were first allowed to fully relax and then the NQR calculations were ...

influence of aluminum, gallium, indium- doping on the boron-nitride nanotubes (bnnts) investigated with density functional theory (dft) and hartreefock (hf) methods. for this purpose, the chemical shift of difference atomic nucleus was studied using the gauge included atomic orbital (giao) approch. in the following, structural parameter values, electrostatic potential, thermodynamic parameters,...

The quasi-independent curvilinear coordinate approximation (QUICCA) method [K. Nemeth and M. Challacombe, J. Chem. Phys. 121, 2877 (2004)] is extended to the optimization of crystal structures. We demonstrate that QUICCA is valid under periodic boundary conditions, enabling simultaneous relaxation of the lattice and atomic coordinates, as illustrated by tight optimization of polyethylene, hexag...

the aim of this research is studying the effects of ge-doped on co adsorption on the outer and inner surfaces of (6, 0) zigzag model of boron nitride nanotube (bnnts) by using dft theory. for this purpose, eight models of co adsorption on the surfaces of bnnts are considered. at first step, all structures were optimized at b3lyp and 6-31g (d) standard base set and then the electronic structure,...

density functional theory (dft) calculations have been performed to investigating the effects of themolecular oxygen impurity on the quadrupole coupling constant (qcc) parameters of armchair and zigzagboron nitride nanotubes (bnnts). optimization processes have been performed to relax the original andimpure structures of the investigated bnnts. afterwards, the qcc parameters have been evaluated...

Abstract: Electrical sensitivity of a boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) was examined toward pyrrole (C5H6N) molecule by using density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G (d) level, and it was found that the adsorption energy (Ead) of pyrrole on the pristine nanotubes is a bout -16.37kcal/mol. But when nanotube have been doped with Si and Al atom...
