Implanting MnO2 into Hexagonal Boron Nitride as Nanoadditives for Enhancing Tribological Performance

Hexagonal boron-nitride nanomesh magnets

Inter-layer potential for hexagonal boron nitride.

A new interlayer force-field for layered hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) based structures is presented. The force-field contains three terms representing the interlayer attraction due to dispersive interactions, repulsion due to anisotropic overlaps of electron clouds, and monopolar electrostatic interactions. With appropriate parameterization, the potential is able to simultaneously capture wel...

Hexagonal boron nitride epitaxial layers as neutron detector materials

Micro-strip metal–semiconductor–metal detectors for thermal neutron sensing were fabricated from hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) epilayers synthesized by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. Experimental measurements indicated that the thermal neutron absorption coefficient and length of natural hBN epilayers are about 0.00361 mm 1 and 277 mm, respectively. A continuous irradiation with a the...

TOPICAL REVIEW Graphene on Hexagonal Boron Nitride

The field of graphene research has developed rapidly since its first isolation by mechanical exfoliation in 2004. Due to the relativistic Dirac nature of its charge carriers, graphene is both a promising material for next-generation electronic devices and a convenient low-energy testbed for intrinsically high-energy physical phenomena. Both of these research branches require the facile fabricat...
