In this study, we investigate the physical mechanism of soft and hard dielectric breakdown using conductive atomic force microscope (CAFM) as a nanoscale spectroscopy tool on blanket hexagonal boron ...

An amorphous boron carbide ceramic is prepared via hot wall chemical vapor deposition at 1000 °C using a BCl3/CH4/H2 mixture. Its elemental composition is assessed by electron probe microanalysis ...

Scientists at Rice University have succeeded in making energy-saving window coatings from boron nitride at room temperature.

Various layered materials, including hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), graphite, and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), have been successfully exfoliated to be cationic two-dimensional (2D) materials for the ...

A new coating for glass developed by Rice University researchers and collaborators could help reduce energy bills, especially ...
