54. In Ref. 24 some evidence was presented that, while for the small and moderate radii the strain energy is clearly smaller in the case of BN compared to C nanotubes, the opposite could be true for larger tubes (r > 30 Å). However, this seems quite unlikely if, as pointed out here, a smaller flexular rigidity of BN can already be deduced from the behavior of the ZA phonon band of the flat sheet. Unfortunately, the parameter δ is quite sensitive to the fit procedure and to numerical uncertainities, and the values for C and BN are close enough so that no definitive conclusion can be given here.

69. Similarly to the case of the monolayer, the main changes on the phonon band structure of the single-walled tubes induced by the long-range dipolar interactions are relatively small and restricted to the high-frequency modes: the in-plane optical modes extend over a somewhat larger energy range, and some of the longitudinal modes (with atomic displacements parallel to the tube axis) exhibit a larger dipersion with k. These changes are directly related to the larger overbending of the LO band of the BN monolayer when the electrostatic interactions are included.
