Buckling of boron nanotubes under axial compression: Insights from molecular mechanics and continuum mechanics

Computational screening of transition-metal doped boron nanotubes as efficient electrocatalysts for water splitting

“…Boron-based structures exhibit special chemical and physical properties, such as low density, high melting point, excellent chemical stability, high thermal and electrical conductivity. [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] Theoretical calculations indicate that the density of states (DOS) of boron nanotubes (BNTs) is similar to that of metal, showing its excellent metal properties. 32 Individual BNTs also exhibit excellent eld emission properties, with a high stable current of approximately 80 mA and a current density close to that of CNTs (2 Â 10 11 A m À2 ).…”

Comparative Stability Analysis of Boron Nitride Nanotube using MD Simulation and Nonlocal Elasticity Theory

“…Also, Ajori et al used MD simulation technique to study the buckling behavior x-graphyne based single-and multi-walled nanotubes [13]. More recently, Zhang and Zhou studied the buckling behavior of boron nanotube which compose only from boron atoms [14]. To analyze nanotubes by taking the size effect into consideration, many methods have been used such as couple stress theory [15,16], strain gradient theory, nonlocal elasticity theory [17][18][19][20][21][22], surface elasticity theory, nonlocal surface elasticity theory [23], DSC method [24][25][26][27][28][29].…”
