Doping finite-length carbon and boron nitride nanotubes with aluminium atom: A thermodynamic semiempirical investigation
Authors
Abstract:
The doping reaction of truncated boron nitride and carbon nanotubes with aluminium atom wastheoretically investigated. The AM1, PM3, and PM6 semiempirical methods have been used toevaluate the thermochemistry of doping reactions of single walled boron nitride nanotubes andcarbon nanotubes. The enthalpy changes, Gibbs free energy changes, and entropy changes of studieddoping reactions were evaluated at different temperatures. The AM1 and PM6 results showed Aldopingreaction of (8,0)CNT is exothermic and spontaneous . Among the studied armchair and zigzagnanotubes, AM1 and PM6 calculations reveal that (8,0)CNT is the best candidate for Al-dopingreaction.

The controlled synthesis and growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been a long standing challenge in the fabrication of carbon based materials for electronic applications. Due to the sensitivity to small changes in their structure, the successful integration of CNTs on electronic devices is conditioned to the preservation of the graphitic network of single and multiwalled nanotubes from externa...

full textAqueous noncovalent functionalization and controlled near-surface carbon doping of multiwalled boron nitride nanotubes.
Noncovalent functionalization of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) in aqueous solution was achieved by means of pi-stacking of an anionic perylene derivative, through which carboxylate-functionalized BNNTs were prepared for the first time. Starting from the functionalized nanotubes, an innovative methodology was designed and demonstrated for the controlled near-surface carbon doping of BNNTs. As ...
full textVibrational Properties of Boron–Nitride Nanotubes: Effects of Finite Length and Bundling
We present ab initio calculations of phonons in single-wall boron–nitride (BN) nanotubes. Raman and infrared (IR) active modes of isolated and infinitely long tubes are evaluated according to the nonsymmorphic rod groups of BN nanotubes. For tubes of finite length, the selection rules are less restrictive and give rise to additional modes, which may be observed in Raman and IR spectroscopy with...
