We report the tailoring of the electronic structures of various structural phases of phosphorene (α-P, β-P, γ-P and δ-P) based homo- and hetero-bilayers through in-plane mechanical strains, vertical pressure and transverse electric field by employing density functional theory.

Using first-principles density-functional theory investigate (5, 5) capped single-walled carbon nanotubes adsorbed at one end by hydrogen molecule with and without an applied electric field. It is found that the structure of carbon nanotubes with hydrogen molecules is stable under field-emission conditions. The induced dipole moments is the direction of the applied electric field,and the LUMO-HOMO energy gaps decrease. These results elucidate that the field-emission properties of carbon nanotubes can be enhanced by the adsorption of hydrogen molecules, and are consistent with the experimental results.

The optical properties of (8,0) single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) alloyed with nitrogen ( N ) are computed using ab initio density functional theory (DFT). Both the real as well as imaginary dielectric constant in the long wavelength limit depends essentially on the nature of electromagnetic field. It is observed that for CN 3 systems, the reflectivity vanishes at 3.45, 6.95, and 8.20 eV, respectively for parallel, perpendicular polarization, and unpolarized light with incidence (1,0,0), while for C 3 N the vanishing reflectivity occurs only for parallel polarization at 8.05 eV. Although the magnitude of the significant peaks of loss function of CN 3 systems are comparable to C 3 N in perpendicular and unpolarized situation, however, they are significantly one order of magnitude higher in CN 3 for parallel polarization.

Background: Boron Nitride Nanotubes (BNNTs) have recently emerged as an interesting field of study, because they could be used for the realization of developed, integrated and compact nanostructures to be formulated. BNNTs with similar surface morphology, alternating B and N atoms completely substitute for C atoms in a graphitic-like sheet with nearly no alterations in atomic spacing, with uniformity in dispersion in the solution, and readily applicable in biomedical applications with no obvious toxicity. Also demonstrating a good cell interaction and cell targeting. Aim and Objective: With a purpose of increasing the field of BNNT for drug delivery, a theoretical investigation of the interaction of Melatonin, Vitamin C, Glutathione and lipoic acid antioxidants using (9, 0) zigzag BNNTs is shown using density functional theory. Methods: The geometries corresponding to Melatonin, Vitamin C, Glutathione and lipoic acid and BNNT with different lengths were individually optimized with the DMOL3 program at the LDA/ DNP (fine) level of theory. Results: In the presence of external electric field Melatonin, Vitamin C, Glutathione and lipoic acid could be absorbed considerably on BNNT with lengths 22 and 29 Å, as the adsorption energy values in the presence of external electric field are considerably increased. Conclusion: The external electric field is an appropriate technique for adsorbing and storing antioxidants on BNNTs. Moreover, it is believed that applying the external electric field may be a proper method for controlling release rate of drugs.
