Abstract: Electronic structures of boron-nitride nanotubes of zigzag(N,0) and armchair(N,N) types for the annotube diameter N=4, 5 and 6 were calculated by B3LYP method. The bonding character and the conductivity of these nanotubes were discussed from the calculated results of energy bands, density of states (DOS) and bond orders, and were compared with those of carbon nanotubes.

Key words: Boron-Nitride nanotube, Energy band, Density of state, Bond order, B3LYP
