Elastic Properties of Boron-Nitride Nanotubes through an Atomic Simulation Method

Elastic Properties of Boron-Nitride Nanotubes through an Atomic Simulation Method

The elastic properties of the boron-nitride nanotubes are studied based on an atomic simulation method that is called atomic-scale finite element method. The Tersoff-Brenner potential is used to describe the interaction between boron and nitrogen atoms, and the computational method is established in...
