Microworms self-assembled by boron nitride horns for optoelectronic applications
Description
We report the self-assembly of microworms from boron nitride horns by chemical vapor deposition. Through advanced electron microscopy analysis of the intermediate products, the evolution of such microworms has been determined to be governed by a root-based growth mechanism, in which BN horns are initiated by the boron particles, self-intertwisted together to from worm-like structures, and finally formed into microworms. Strong light emissions are observed in such microworms, showing their high potential for applications in lasing, light-emitting diode, and medical diagnosis devices.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
