Electronic transport properties of single-wall boron nanotubes

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/26/8/087310

Abstract

Electronic transport properties of single-wall boron nanotube (BNT) with different chiralities, diameters, some of which are encapsulated with silicon, germanium, and boron nanowires are theoretically studied. The results indicate that the zigzag (3, 3) BNT has more electronic transmission channels than the armchair (5, 0) BNT because of its unique structure distortion. Nanowires encapsulated in the BNT can enhance the conductance of the BNT to some extent by providing a significant electronic transmission channel to the BNT. The effect of the structure of nanowires and the diameter of BNTs on the transport properties has also been discussed. The results of this paper can enrich the knowledge of the electron transport of the BNT and provide theoretical guidance for subsequent experimental study.
