Abstract
Boron nitride (BN) nanotubes with zigzag- and armchair-type structures were investigated by high-resolution electron microscopy, image processing, image simulation and molecular mechanics calculations. Chiralities of BN nanotubes were directly determined from high-resolution images, and structure models were proposed. Total energies of BN nanotubes with a zigzag-type structure were lower than those of armchair-type structure, and these results agreed well with the experimental data of disordered tube structure.
