Abstract
The elastic properties of boron nitride nanotubes have been calculated using theTersoff–Brenner potential which is a bond order potential used successfully previously forcarbon nanotubes. In the present calculation, the same form of potential is used withadjusted parameters for hexagonal boron nitride. The Young’s modulus and shear modulusfor single-walled armchair and zigzag tubes of different radii have been calculated. Theeffects of tube diameter are investigated. The computational results show the variation ofYoung’s modulus and shear modulus of boron nitride nanotubes with nanotube diameter.The results have been compared with available data, experimental as well as calculated.
