Characterization of plasma and gas-phase chemistry during boron-nitride nanomaterial synthesis by laser-ablation of boron-rich targets
Shurik Yatom, Yevgeny Raitses
In this work, solid targets made from boron and boron nitride (BN) materials are ablated by a nanosecond pulsed laser at sub-atmospheric pressures of nitrogen and helium gases. Exc…

Determining Gas Composition for Growth of BNNTs Using Thermodynamic Approach
Alexander Khrabry, Igor D. Kaganovich, Shurik Yatom +4
A high-yield production of high-quality boron-nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) was reported recently in several publications. A boron-rich material is evaporated by a laser or plasma in a…

Synthesis of nanoparticles in carbon arc: measurements and modeling
Shurik Yatom, Alexander Khrabry, James Mitrani +5
This work studies the region of nanoparticle growth in atmospheric pressure carbon arc. Detection of the nanoparticles is realized via the planar laser induced incandescence (PLII)…
