Tuning the electronic properties of boron nitride nanotube by mechanical uni-axial deformation: a DFT study
<p>Abstract</p> <p>The effect of uni-axial strain on the electronic properties of (8,0) zigzag and (5,5) armchair boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT) is addressed by density functional theory calculation. The stress-strain profiles indicate that these two BNNTS of differing types displa...
