Study of modification of carbon univariate nanostructures with boron atoms impurities

Abstract

Abstract The article describes peculiarities of structure and influence on electron-energy properties of carbon nanotubes, whose surface is structurally modified with replacing boron atoms. Various substitution options and the percentage of boron and carbon atoms are considered, the width of the band gap is established depending on the percentage of boron atoms on the surface of the nanotube. The results presented in this article can form the basis for recommendations on the possibility of managing the conductive properties of nanomaterials.
