Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The structural, stability, and electronic properties and optimized inter-wall distances of double-walled boron nitride nanotubes (DWBNNTs) are investigated based on density functional theory (DFT) with the SIESTA code. The computations are done on the zigzag (m,0)@( n,0) DWBNNTs with chirality of (m = 6, 7 and n = 10-18) and the armchair (m,m)@(n,n) with chirality of (m = 5, 6 and n = 7-15). The calculated binding and formation energies revealed that the armchair and the zigzag DWBNNTs with chirality differences of (n-m = 6 and 9) (m,m)@(m + 6,m + 6), (m, 0)@(m + 9, 0) and inter-layer spacing of about 4.22Å and 3.62Å are the best favorable nanotubes, respectively. Analyzing the electronic structures revealed that all considered armchair and zigzag BNNTs are semiconductors. Furthermore, it is concluded that with increasing diameters of the tubes and the spaces between walls, the value of the band gap rises, and the change process is almost constant at larger distances between the walls. Also, compared to single-walled nanotubes, DWBNNTs have a narrower bandgap. Future empirical investigations can definitely benefit from the implications of this research.
