Boron aggregation in the ground states of boron-carbon fullerenes

Stephan Mohr, Pascal Pochet, Maximilian Amsler +4

We present novel structural motifs for boron-carbon nano-cages of the stochiometries B12C48 and B12C50, based on first principle calculations. These configurations are distinct fro…
