Title: | The excitonic effects in single and double-walled boron nitride nanotubes | Authors: | Wang, S Li, Y Yip, J Wang, J |
Issue Date: | 2014 | Source: | Journal of chemical physics, 2014, v. 140, no. 24, 244701, p. 244701-1-244701-6 | Abstract: | The electronic structures and excitonic optical properties of single- and double-walled armchair boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) [e.g., (5,5) and (10,10), and (5,5) (10,10)] are investigated within many-body Green's function and Bethe-Salpeter equation formalism. The first absorption peak of the double-walled nanotube has almost no shift compared with the single-walled (5,5) tube due to the strong optical transition in the double-walled tube that occurs within the inner (5,5) one. Dark and semi-dark excitonic states are detected in the lower energy region, stemming from the charge transfer between inner and outer tubes in the double-walled structure. Most interestingly, the charge transfer makes the electron and the hole reside in different tubes. Moreover, the excited electrons in the double-walled BNNT are able to transfer from the outer tube to the inner one, opposite to that which has been observed in double-walled carbon nanotubes. | Publisher: | American Institute of Physics | Journal: | Journal of chemical physics | ISSN: | 0021-9606 | EISSN: | 1089-7690 | DOI: | 10.1063/1.4880726 | Rights: | © 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
