A theoretical study of thermal conductivity in single-walled boron nitride nanotubes
, 2011 We perform a theoretical investigation on the thermal conductivity of single-walled boron nitride nanotubes (SWBNT) using the kinetic theory. By fitting to the phonon spectrum of boron nitride sheet, we develop an efficient and stable Tersoff-derived ...

Selective Sequestration of Toxic NOx Gases by P‐Doped Graphene: A Density Functional Theory Study
Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.P‐doped graphene (P‐grap) is explored as an NOx sensor through DFT simulations. The analysis of its geometry, binding energies, electronic properties, and atom‐in‐molecule characteristics demonstrates that P‐grap is a selective sensor for NOx among a mixture of various gases.
