In this study, the electrical and structural parameters of pristine and 1Ca-and 2Ca-doped beryllium oxide nanotubes (BeONTs) before and after N 2 O adsorption are studied using density function theory (DFT). In the first step, we selected 15 models for the adsorption of N 2 O gas on the exterior and interior surfaces of nanotube and then the considered models are optimized using the B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) level of theory. The results indicate that the adsorption processes in all the models are physisorption and are endothermic. A strong interaction between N 2 O and 1Ca-, 2Ca-doped BeONTs increases the conductivity of nanotube, which acts a good candidate for make sensor for N 2 O gas. The ESP analysis shows that the nanotube is relatively electron rich in N 2 O/BeONTs complex, and the N 2 O is relatively electron poor. With 1Ca and 2Ca doping, stabilization energy (E 2 ) and charge density of three oxygen atoms around the dopant decrease and the dipole moment of nanotube increases significantly from original values.
