We have measured the temperature-dependent thermal conductivity κ(T) of individual multiwall boron nitride nanotubes using a microfabricated test fixture that allows direct transmission electron microscopy characterization of the tube being measured. κ(T) is exceptionally sensitive to isotopic substitution, with a 50% enhancement in κ(T) resulting for boron nitride nanotubes with 99.5% B11. For isotopically pure boron nitride nanotubes, κ rivals that of carbon nanotubes of similar diameter.

The conduction band offset (CBO) of SnS as the light absorbing layer and Zn1−xMgxO as the buffer layer in SnS thin film solar cells has been optimized to improve the solar cell conversion efficiency. We controlled the CBO experimentally by varying the Mg content (x) of the Zn1−xMgxO layer. The optimum CBO value range for improved solar cell performance was determined to be from −0.1 to 0 eV. A SnS thin film solar cell sample with the optimum CBO value exhibited conversion efficiency of approximately 2.1%.

We have characterized the electron transport properties of n-decylamine-functionalized Si nanosheets (NSs) using atomic force microscopy with a conductive cantilever under vacuum conditions at room temperature. Electrons are transported from the cantilever to the substrate through Si NSs. The Si NSs exhibit nonresonant tunneling; the transport mechanisms are based on direct tunneling at low bias voltages and Fowler–Nordheim tunneling at high bias voltages.
