The density functional theory (DFT) has been used to simultaneously investigate physic/chemi-sorption properties of oxygen on the (5, 5) boron nitride nanotube (BNNT). Geometry optimizations were carried out at B3LYP/6-31G*level of theory using gaussian 98 suites of program. physisorption of O2outside the BNNT with a vertical orientation to the tube axis above a boron atom is the most stable state of physisorption and its binding energy is -0.775 kcal/mol. In the chemisorption of O2molecule, the most stable state is above two adjacent B and N atoms of a hexagon with a B-N bond length of 2.503 Å and the binding energy of adsorbed oxygen atoms -14.389 kcal/mol. Based on these results, We also provide the effects of O2adsorption on the electronic properties of BNNTs.

Using density-functional theory (DFT) combined with non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF), we have investigated the transport properties of carbon nanotubes with S–S, M–S, and M–M heterojunctions. The results show that the local states associated with topological defects arise at the junctions. The position and width of local states strongly depend on the configurations of the topological defects and their arrangement. The (7, 0)–(8, 0) and (8, 0)–(9, 0) heterojunctions present semiconducting characteristics. The (6, 0)–(9, 0) heterojunction maintains metallic properties. However, the 5/6/6/7 defects in the nanostructure decrease the electronic transport. More importantly, our results indicate that the I–V characteristics of the heterojunctions could be effectively controlled by gate voltage.

We carried out ab initio electronic structure calculations in the frameworks of the Density Functional Theory (DFT) to study the electronic structures and hyperfine interaction of muonium (Mu) in imidazole (C3H4N2) and 1–methylimidazole (CH3C3H3N2). The local energy minima and hyperfine interactions of the Mu trapped at the three studies sites were determined by performing geometry optimization procedure. The results show the total energies for all three studied sites are close to one another. The Mu hyperfine interactions were also determined, with the corresponding values vary from 343.00 MHz to 471.28 MHz for the imidazole–Mu cluster, and from 380.21 MHz – 465.57 MHz to 475.93 MHz for the cluster of 1–methylimidazole–Mu, respectively.
