摘要
Hexagonal networks of boron nitride (BN) nanotubes were investigated by high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) and image simulation. From HREM images, lattice planes of {002} and hexagonal rings of a BN nanotube were confirmed. Asymmetrical layer arrangements were found, and a structure model for double-walled BN nanotube with an armchair-type structure has been proposed. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
