81. As boron-nitride nanotubes are insulating we need a mechanism to fill the impurity levels after electron ionization. For the process to be efficient it needs to rely on a tube-doping mechanism, either structural or metal-intercalation doping (Rubio A, Miyamoto Y, Blase X, Cohen ML, Louie SG. Phys Rev B 1996;53:4023-4026). The doping will benefit from the near-free electron-like states at the bottom of the conduction band in boron nitride (Rubio A, Corkill JL, Cohen ML. Phys Rev B 1994;49:5081; Blase X, Rubio A, Louie SG, Cohen ML. Europhys Lett 1994;28:335) in order to fill up the defect levels.
