摘要: Abstract The geometries and stabilities of mono-BN doped (5,5) armchair single-walled carbon nanotube (ASWCNT) isomers for a smaller C 50 H 20 model are first investigated by both AM1 HF/4-31G methods. calculations suggest that the two methods obtain similar results, demonstrating method is reliable in calculating properties BN-doped ASWCNT isomers. Then, equilibrium structures relative mono-, di-, tri-BN larger (C 110 ) further studied based on level. For ASWCNT, thermodynamic its general decrease with separation between heteroatoms, isomer neighbored B N atoms most stable one. di- or isomers, N–N B–B bonds should be avoided B–N–B–N B–N–B–N–B–N chain same hexagon BN-doping generally enhances redox electron excitation compared their host tube, increase diameter enlargement whole.
