Double Walled Gallium–Nitride and Zinc-Oxide Nanotube as a Cylindrical Nano Capacitor
Due to the semiconductor characteristic and dielectric functionality of SW-ZnO-NTs, SW-GaN-NTs can be used as a capacitor. Double-walled mixed of Gallium Nitride nanotube and Zinc Oxide are used for a theoretical study of a cylindrical molecular capacitor, including an inner cylinder
with a positive charge distribution and an outer cylinder with a negative charge distribution. Although the SW-GaN-NTs@SW-ZnO-NTs behave like nano cylindrical capacitors, we have shown in this study that a dopant of Al in the inner cylinder reduces the energy gap and yields a better capacitance.
The dopant of AlN in the outer cylinder results in an inverse charge distribution (outer is positive and inner is negative).
