Abstract The recent discovery of field emission devices based on one-dimensional nanostructures has attracted much interest in emerging applications on next-generation flat panel displays, molecule-based sensors, and so forth. To achieve a comprehensive understanding of surface potentials at the nano-emitters during the tunneling process, in this study we systematically investigated the image potentials of single-walled boron nitride nanotubes with different edges, diameters and lengths in the frame of a composite first-principles calculation. The image potentials of zigzag single-walled boron nitride nanotubes are found to be dependent on the non-equivalent sides. Only the image potentials of isolated armchair single-walled boron nitride nanotube can be well fitted with the image potential of an ideal metal sphere of a size comparable to the tube diameter. On the contrary, the image potentials of zigzag and grounded armchair single-walled boron nitride nanotubes exhibit a strong length-dependence characteristic and are significantly different from that of an ideal metal sphere, which originates from the significant axial symmetry breaking of induced charge at the tip for the long tube. The correlation between the testing electron and electronic structure of single-walled boron nitride nanotube has also been discussed.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
