The theoretical study on interaction of hydrogen with single-walled boron nitride nanotubes. I. The reactive force field ReaxFFHBN development [PDF]
, 2005 We present a new reactive force field ReaxFFHBN derived to accurately model large molecular and condensed phase systems of H, B, and N atoms. ReaxFFHBN has been tested against quantum calculation data for B–H, B–B, and B–N bond dissociations and for H–B ...
