Crystalline Boron Nanoribbons: Synthesis and Characterization
Abstract
Catalyst-free growth of boron nanoribbons was observed by pyrolysis of diborane at 630−750 °C and ∼200 mTorr in a quartz tube furnace. Nanodiffraction analysis indicates the nanoribbons are single crystal α-tetragonal boron. TEM images show the nanoribbon is covered by a 1−2 nm thick amorphous layer. Elemental analysis by EELS, EDX, and XPS shows the nanoribbons consist of boron with small amounts of oxygen and carbon. Infrared and Raman spectra are also reported.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
