Report by BC Professor of Physics David Broido and international colleagues confirm high thermal conductivity predicted for isotopically enriched cubic boron nitride Research by Professor of Physics ...

Boron nitride (BN) is an important industrial material; e.g., cubic-type BN (c-BN) is widely used. Because it is the second hardest material known to man (the hardest being diamond), it is mainly used ...
