Structural Stabilities and Electronic Properties
There is a striking evolution of boron nanostructures with the increasing size confirmed by experimentalists and theorists, due to the electron deficiency. Computational prediction of B80 suggests that a triangular boron lattice with proper vacancies should be more stable, leading to extensive searc ...
