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.

AbstractDirectly mapping local phonon dispersion in individual nanostructures can advance our understanding of their thermal, optical, and mechanical properties. However, this requires high detection sensitivity and combined spatial, energy and momentum resolutions, thus has been elusive. Here, we demonstrate a four-dimensional electron energy loss spectroscopy technique, and present position-dependent phonon dispersion measurements in individual boron nitride nanotubes. By scanning the electron beam in real space while monitoring both the energy loss and the momentum transfer, we are able to reveal position- and momentum-dependent lattice vibrations at nanometer scale. Our measurements show that the phonon dispersion of multi-walled nanotubes is locally close to hexagonal-boron nitride crystals. Interestingly, acoustic phonons are sensitive to defect scattering, while optical modes are insensitive to small voids. This work not only provides insights into vibrational properties of boron nitride nanotubes, but also demonstrates potential of the developed technique in nanoscale phonon dispersion measurements.
