Abstract 2D hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a wide‐bandgap van der Waals crystal with a
unique combination of properties, including exceptional strength, large oxidation resistance …

The ground state of translationally invariant insulators comprises bands which can assume
topologically distinct structures. There are few known examples where this distinction is …

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 …

Recent advances in the synthesis of hexagonal boron nitride (BN) based nanostructures,
similar to graphene, graphene nanoribbons, and nanotubes, have attracted significant …

The era of thermoelectric materials has begun in the search of clean, green and renewable
anticipated energy resources. Thermoelectric materials are attracting a lot of spotlights by …

The ability of a material to convert electrical stimuli into mechanical deformation, ie
piezoelectricity, is a remarkable property of a rather small subset of insulating materials. The …

We investigate the long-wavelength dispersion of longitudinal and transverse optical
phonon modes in polar two-dimensional materials, multilayers, and their heterostructures …
