New Book in Nanoscale Science: B-C-N nanotubes and Related Nanostructures

August 3, 2009

Professor Yoke Khin Yap has published the first book on B-C-N nanostructures, an emerging material system that includes carbon, boron, and compounds constructed of multiple elements using B, C, and N atoms. This book, entitled “B-C-N nanotubes and related nanostructures” is published by Springer, as the sixth volume of the Lecture Notes in Nanoscale Science and Technology. The book consists of nine chapters, written by experts in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. It covers theoretical and experimental aspects of pure and doped carbon nanotubes (CNTs); boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs); and nanostructures of boron (B), carbon nitride (CN_x), boron carbon nitride (B_xC_yN_z), and boron carbide (B_xC_y). This book is published in a hardcover with approximately 310 pages and 159 illustrations (32 in color). The foreword of this book was written by Professor Alex Zettl from the University of California, Berkeley. The scope of B-C-N nanomaterials is described in the preface of the book.
