The existence of Single-wall C-nanocones (SWNCs), especially nanohorns (SWNHs) and BC2N/Boron Nitride (BN) analogues is discussed in organic solvents in cluster form. A theory is developed based on the bundlet model, describing distribution function by size. The phenomena present unified explanation in the model, in which free energy of (BC2N/BN-)SWNCs involved in cluster, is combined from two ...

We present a comprehensive electronic structure analysis of two BN isosteres of indole using a combined UV-photoelectron spectroscopy (UV-PES)/computational chemistry approach. Gas-phase He I photoelectron spectra of external BN indole I and fused BN indole II have been recorded, assessed by density functional theory calculations, and compared with natural indole. The first ionization energies ...

Stabilizations and atomic level quadrupole coupling constant (CQ) properties have been investigated for graphene–like monolayers (G–monolayers) of boron nitride (BN), boron phosphide (BP), aluminum nitride (AlN), and aluminum phosphide (AlP) structures. To this aim, density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed to optimize the model structures and also to evaluate the CQ para...

Cubic boron nitride (c-BN) films were deposited using radio-frequency ~rf! magnetron sputtering. A type of turbostratic boron nitride (t-BN) growth was found by reducing the substrate bias during deposition. Transmission electron microscopy ~TEM! study showed that the t-BN served as a different nucleation environment for c-BN compared to those reported in the literature by many other groups. Th...

The thermal conductivity of boron nitride/ethylene glycol (BN/EG) nanofluids was investigated by transient hot-wire method and two abnormal phenomena was reported. One is the abnormal higher thermal conductivity enhancement for BN/EG nanofluids at very low-volume fraction of particles, and the other is the thermal conductivity enhancement of BN/EG nanofluids synthesized with large BN nanopartic...

For a finite n-element set X, n ≥ 1, let N [X] denote the number of elements of X and let p(n) denote the number of all partitions of X. If Bn is a Boolean algebra with n atoms, let A(Bn) be the set of all atoms of Bn. It is known that there exists a bijective correspondence between the set S(Bn) of all subalgebras of Bn and the set of all partitions of A(Bn), i.e., N [S(Bn)] = p(n). The follow...

For p > 0, let (Bn) and p(Bn) denote, respectively, the p-Bloch and holomorphic p-Lipschitz spaces of the open unit ball Bn in Cn. It is known that (Bn) and 1−p(Bn) are equal as sets when p ∈ (0,1). We prove that these spaces are additionally normequivalent, thus extending known results for n= 1 and the polydisk. As an application, we generalize work byMadigan on the disk by investigating bound...

A new thermally conductive polyimide composite film has been developed. It is based on a dispersion of different particle sizes of boron nitride (BN) in a polyimide (PI) precursor, polyamic acid (PAA). Subsequently, thermal imidization of PAA at 350 degrees C produced the corresponding polyimide composites. 3-Mercaptopropionic acid was used as the surfactant to modify the BN surface for the dis...
