Amino multi-walled carbon nanotubes further improve the thermal conductivity of boron nitride/liquid crystal epoxy resin composites

eXPRESS Polymer Letters, 2020
In this work, we introduced highly thermally conductive and fibrous amino multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MCNT-NH2) into hexagonal boron nitride/liquid crystal epoxy resin (h-BN/LCER) composites to improve the thermal conductivity of the composites. First,

Hexagonal Boron Nitride for Sulfur Corrosion Inhibition [PDF]

ACS Nano, 2020
Corrosion by sulfur compounds is a long-standing challenge in many engineering applications. Specifically, designing a coating that protects metals from both abiotic and biotic forms of sulfur corrosion remains an elusive goal. Here we report that atomically thin layers (∼4) of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) act as a protective coating to inhibit ...

Elastic Properties of Hybrid Graphene/Boron Nitride Monolayer

, 2012
Recently hybridized monolayers consisting of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) phases inside graphene layer have been synthesized and shown to be an effective way of opening band gap in graphene monolayers [1]. In this letter, we report an ab initio density

Electronic properties of bilayer sheets forming moiré patterns

Condensed Matter Physics, 2021
In this article, we report the electronic band structures of hexagonal bilayer systems, specifically, rotated graphene-graphene and boron nitride-boron nitride bilayers, by introducing an angle between the layers and forming new periodic structures ...

Hexagonal Boron Nitride Based Photonic Quantum Technologies. [PDF]

Materials (Basel)
Hexagonal boron nitride is rapidly gaining interest as a platform for photonic quantum technologies, due to its two-dimensional nature and its ability to host defects deep within its large band gap that may act as room-temperature single-photon emitters.

Photoluminescence of hexagonal boron nitride: effect of surface oxidation under UV-laser irradiation

, 2008
We report on the UV laser induced fluorescence of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) following nanosecond laser irradiation of the surface under vacuum and in different environments of nitrogen gas and ambient air.

Soliton superlattices in twisted hexagonal boron nitride [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2019
AbstractProperties of atomic van der Waals heterostructures are profoundly influenced by interlayer coupling, which critically depends on stacking of the proximal layers. Rotational misalignment or lattice mismatch of the layers gives rise to a periodic modulation of the stacking, the moiré superlattice.
