Synthesis, atomic structures and properties of carbon and boron nitride fullerene materials

Molar Binding Energy of Zigzag and Armchair Single-Walled Boron Nitride Nanotubes

“…For large tubes, it is found that the ratio of length to radius is preserved. Besides of arc-melting, pyrolysis, and chemical reactions, boron nitride nanotubular structures were created by means of ballistic nuclear displacements caused in a h-BN layered crystal structure by electron irradiation in TEM [16,17].…”

Growth of Boron Nitride Nanohorn Structures

“…2,3) Boron nitride (BN) nanostructured materials with a bandgap energy of $6 eV and non-magnetism are also expected to show various electronic, optical and magnetic properties such as Coulomb blockade, photoluminescence, and supermagnetism. 4,5) Recently, several studies have been reported on BN nanomaterials such as BN nanotubes, [6][7][8] BN clusters, 9,10) BN nanocapsules 4,5,11) and BN nanoparticles, 12,13) which are expected to be useful as electronic devices, high heatresistance semiconductors and insulator lubricants. In addition, some BN nanohorns as a novel type of BN nanotubes were also reported by HREM images.…”

Fabrication and Characterization of Fullerene-Based Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells with Porphyrin, CuInS2, Diamond and Exciton-Diffusion Blocking Layer

“…compositions, and included clusters, the cluster-included C nanocage structures with band-gap energy of 0-1.7 eV and nonmagnetism are expected to show various electronic, optical, and magnetic properties such as Coulomb blockade, photoluminescence, and superparamagnetism [4,5].…”

“…Carbon-based nanostructures such as fullerenes, nanocapsules, onions, nanopolyhedra, cones, cubes, and nanotubes have been widely reported and investigated [1][2][3][4]. These carbon (C) nanomaterials with hollow cage structures show different physical properties, and have the potential of studying materials of low dimensionality within an isolated environment.…”
