Top Industry Leaders in the Hexagonal Boron Nitride Market
Hexagonal Boron Nitride Market
August 2023- Nanomaterials research is one of the most dynamic fields of scientific study in the world today. At the atomic level, common materials and compounds can be arranged and combined in novel ways to produce novel properties that did not exist previously. However, accessing those properties when disparate materials are combined has proven elusive. New research conducted in part at Texas State University has shown that stacked layers of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) can produce a periodic electrical potential that is tunable (moiré potential). The moiré potential can dramatically alter the state of the electrons, leading to exotic electronic and optical properties such as superconductivity. The tunability of the moiré potential enables the materials to achieve a wider range of new electronic states. A team of researchers led by Yoichi Miyahara, an assistant professor in the Department of Physics and part of the Materials Science, Engineering and Commercialization Program at Texas State, and Xiaoqin Elaine Li, a professor in the Department of Physics and Center for Complex Quant at the University of Texas at Austin have achieved this significant breakthrough. A graduate student, Dong Seob Kim, with the Department of Physics and Center for Complex Quantum Systems at the University of Texas at Austin, is the lead author with Texas State physics graduate students Roy C. Dominguez, Rigo Mayorga-Luna and Mitchell Ford, contributing to the study, "Electrostatic moiré potential from twisted-hBN layers," published in the journal Nature.
