Boron is a chemical element with three valence electrons for forming covalent bonds, resulting in many compounds. Doping/integration of boron atoms into other atoms provides new wonder materials with unique physical, chemical, and electrical properties. This book provides an overview of the research and developments of boronbased materials such as boron nitride, boron clusters, boron doping, boron compounds, and so on. Chapters cover all aspects of boron-based materials including theoretical backgrounds of structure and properties, computer simulation, synthesis techniques, device fabrication, characterizations, and current state-of-the-art applications.
