摘要
We perform first-principles calculations to investigate the band offsets of (9,0) and (10,0) BN/C heterostructured nanotubes with different interfaces. We show that the built-in electric field induced by charge redistribution modulates the band offsets of these nanotubes in different ways. Remarkably enhanced field-emission properties of the heterostructures are also predicted.
