Due to its high carrier mobility and tunable bandgap, phosphorene has been the subject of immense interest recently. Herein, we show using density functional theory based calculations that black phosphorus (BP) nanotubes are achievable. Moreover, the electronic properties of BP nanotubes are explore...
