Description
Summary:The article provides information on carbon nanotubes' (CNT) yield to nanotechnology application. It looks on the electronic properties of the CNT and boron carbonitride nanotubes (BCN-NT) and several experts have explored their potentialities in nanotechnology. It also highlights the advantage of changing the BCN-NT's band structure through atomic configuration and composition.
