Abstract

Boron-rich nanostructures have been produced using a chemical vapour deposition method with iron particles as catalysts. Cyclic twinning nanowires and parallel twinning nanoplatelets have been identified using electron microscopy techniques such as selected area diffraction (SAD) for structural determination and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) for determining the chemical composition. This leads to the possibility of optimising the growth conditions of various boron-rich nanostructures, useful for further exploration of their physical properties.
