Anomalous properties of spark plasma sintered boron nitride solids

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Abhijit Biswas, Peter Serles, Gustavo A. Alvarez, Jesse Schimpf, Michel Hache | Summary: Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is brittle, however, its atomic-scale structural engineering can lead to unprecedented physical properties. Here we report the bulk synthesis of high-density crystalline h-BN solids by using high-temperature spark plasma sintering […]
