Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a layered material with a graphite-like structure in which
planar networks of BN hexagons are regularly stacked. As the structural analogue of a …

The current status of research on boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs)—carbon nanotube
structural analogues—is discussed. Latest achievements in BNNT synthesis, morphology …

We present a comparative study of the energetic, structural, and elastic properties of carbon
and composite single-wall nanotubes, including BN, BC 3, and BC 2 N nanotubes, using a …

A freestanding single layer of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has been successfully
fabricated by controlled energetic electron irradiation through a layer-by-layer sputtering …

What is boron? The question itself may not seem very significant to many people. Their
introduction to the word “boron” could come as the butt of a joke. Conan O'Brien made jokes …

Many of the fundamental questions regarding the solid‐state chemistry of boron are still
unsolved, more than 200 years after its discovery. Recently, theoretical work on the …

The quest for materials with molecular scale properties that can satisfy the demands of the
21st century has led to the development of one dimensional nanostructures, ODNS. Nearly …

We have experimentally determined the elastic properties of an individual multi-wall boron
nitride (BN) nanotube. From the thermal vibration amplitude of a cantilevered BN nanotube …

Boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) has similar tubular nanostructure as carbon nanotube (CNT)
in which boron and nitrogen atoms arranged in a hexagonal network. Owing to the unique …

Boron nitride (BN) nanostructures with complementary functions to their carbon counterparts
are one of the most intriguing nanomaterials. Here we devote a compact review on the …
