Interaction of CNCl molecule and single-walled AlN nanotubes using DFT and TD-DFT calculations

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are used to study the influence of cyanogen chloride (CNCl) adsorption over the geometrical and electronic properties of single-walled (5, 0), (8, 0), and (10, 0) AlN nanotubes as an adsorbent for adsorbate. It has been found that, the CNCl can be adsorbe...
