Abstract
The electrical properties and NMR parameters of the pristine and Ga-doped structures of two representative (8, 0) zigzag and (4, 4) armchair of boron phosphide nanotubes (BPNTs) have been investigated. The structural geometries of above nanotubes have been allowed to relax by optimization and then the isotropic and anisotropic chemical shielding parameters (CSI and CSA) of 11B and 31P have been calculated based on DFT theory. The results reveal that the influence of Ga-doping was more significant on the geometries of the zigzag model than the armchair one. The difference of band gap energies between the pristine and Ga-doped armchair BPNTs was larger than the zigzag model. Significant differences of NMR parameters of those nuclei directly contributed to the Ga-doping atoms have been observed.
