24. Our periodic geometry imposes two types of interfaces, one with C-N bonds and the other with C-B bonds only. These interfaces will be referenced to as C/BN (C-N) and C/BN (C-B), respectively. The interface energy is computed as the average of the two types of junction.

31. 2N nanotubes and the acceptor or donor level for substitutional C (resp. B or N) atoms in BN-based (resp. C-based) systems.
32. In both cases, the presence of donor- and acceptor-like interface states can be related to the C-N and C-B bond that constitute the junction.
