Enhanced surface plasmon resonance (SPR) signals based on immobilization of core-shell nanoparticles incorporated boron nitride nanosheets: Development of molecularly imprinted SPR nanosensor for anticancer drug, etoposide
摘要： An effective SPR nanosensor based on core-shell nanoparticles (Ag@AuNPs) incorporated hexagonal boron nitride (HBN) nanosheets and molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was presented for etoposide (ETO) detection. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) method, cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) methods were utilized for all characterizations of nanomaterials and polymer surfaces. ETO imprinted SPR nanosensor based on Ag@AuNPs-HBN nanocomposite was developed in the presence of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-methacryloylamidoglutamic acid) [p(HEMA-MAGA)]. The results of the study have revealed that 0.001 - 1.00 ng mL-1 (1.70×10-12 - 1.70×10-9 M) and 0.00025 ng mL-1 (4.25×10-13 M) were found as the linearity range and the detection limit (LOD). Furthermore, the prepared SPR nanosensor was examined in terms of stability, repeatability and selectivity. Finally, the imprinted SPR nanosensor was applied to the urine samples having high recovery.

Quantification of hexagonal boron nitride impurities in boron nitride nanotubes <i>via</i> FTIR spectroscopy
摘要： Preparation of high-quality boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) from commercially available stock is critical for eventual industry adoption and to perform comprehensive experimental studies of BNNTs. Separation of h-BN and BNNTs is a significant challenge, and equally so, quantification of h-BN content in mixed samples is a major challenge due to their nearly identical properties. This work introduces a simple method of quantifying h-BN content in BNNTs based on FTIR analysis. Quantification is achieved by 'spiking' a BNNT sample with pure nanoscale h-BN as an internal standard. To demonstrate the efficacy of the quantification technique two BNNT enrichment methods, surfactant wrapping and centrifugation, and a novel sonication-assisted isovolumetric filtration are introduced. FTIR spectra of enriched samples show clear trends throughout the processes. We propose and demonstrate that FTIR peak ratios of the Transverse and Buckling modes of mixed h-BN/BNNT samples can be used to calibrate and quantify h-BN content in any BNNT sample. Hopefully, this method enables as-received BNNTs to be quantifiably enriched from low purity commercial feedstocks, enabling future development and study of BNNTs and related technology.

Deeply subwavelength phonon-polaritonic crystal made of a van der Waals material
摘要： Photonic crystals (PCs) are periodically patterned dielectrics providing opportunities to shape and slow down the light for processing of optical signals, lasing and spontaneous emission control. Unit cells of conventional PCs are comparable to the wavelength of light and are not suitable for subwavelength scale applications. We engineer a nanoscale hole array in a van der Waals material (h-BN) supporting ultra-confined phonon polaritons (PhPs)—atomic lattice vibrations coupled to electromagnetic fields. Such a hole array represents a polaritonic crystal for mid-infrared frequencies having a unit cell volume of 10??λ?3 (with λ? being the free-space wavelength), where PhPs form ultra-confined Bloch modes with a remarkably flat dispersion band. The latter leads to both angle- and polarization-independent sharp Bragg resonances, as verified by far-field spectroscopy and near-field optical microscopy. Our findings could lead to novel miniaturized angle- and polarization-independent infrared narrow-band couplers, absorbers and thermal emitters based on van der Waals materials and other thin polar materials.

Electrowetting on 2D dielectrics: a quantum molecular dynamics investigation
摘要： Electrowetting on dielectrics (EWOD) is widely used to manipulate the spreading of a conductive liquid on a dielectric surface by applying an electric field. 2D hydrophobic dielectrics are promising candidates for EWOD applications. In this study, extensive quantum molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed to investigate the electrowetting behavior of salty water on hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) monolayer. The proximal adsorption of salt ions and the associated realignment of the dipole moments of interfacial water with the applied electric field are found to be the physical origin of the electrowetting behavior. At low salt concentration and low electric fields, the proximal adsorption and the realignment follow the applied electric field, and the cosine of the water contact angle (WCA) follows a quadratic dependence on the applied electric field. At high salt concentration and high electric fields, the proximal adsorption saturates, which restricts further realignment and causes a saturation of the WCA. This case study provides physical insights into the much debated mechanism that underlies the contact angle saturation (CAS) found in macroscopic electrowetting phenomena and also provides an avenue for further studies of electrowetting at the atomic scale.

Magnetic-field-dependent quantum emission in hexagonal boron nitride at room temperature
摘要： Optically addressable spins associated with defects in wide-bandgap semiconductors are versatile platforms for quantum information processing and nanoscale sensing, where spin-dependent inter-system crossing transitions facilitate optical spin initialization and readout. Recently, the van der Waals material hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has emerged as a robust host for quantum emitters, promising efficient photon extraction and atom-scale engineering, but observations of spin-related effects have remained thus far elusive. Here, we report room-temperature observations of strongly anisotropic photoluminescence patterns as a function of applied magnetic field for select quantum emitters in h-BN. Field-dependent variations in the steady-state photoluminescence and photon emission statistics are consistent with a spin-dependent inter-system crossing between triplet and singlet manifolds, indicating that optically-addressable spin defects are present in h-BN.

Electrical and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) shielding properties of hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles reinforced polyvinylidene fluoride nanocomposite films
摘要： The hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles (h-BNNPs) reinforced flexible polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanocomposite films were prepared via a simple and versatile solution casting method. The morphological, thermal and electrical properties of h-BNNPs/PVDF nanocomposite films were elucidated. The electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding properties of prepared nanocomposite films were investigated in the X-band frequency regime (8–12 GHz). The EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) was increased from 1 dB for the PVDF film to 11.21 dB for the h-BNNPs/PVDF nanocomposite film containing 25 wt% h-BNNPs loading. The results suggest that h-BNNPs/PVDF nanocomposite films can be used as lightweight and low-cost EMI shielding materials.

Electronic structure of graphene nanoribbons on hexagonal boron nitride
摘要： Hexagonal boron nitride is an ideal dielectric to form two-dimensional heterostructures due to the fact that it can be exfoliated to be just a few atoms thick and its very low density of defects. By placing graphene nanoribbons on high quality hexagonal boron nitride it is possible to create ideal quasi-one-dimensional systems with very high mobility. The availability of high quality one-dimensional electronic systems is of great interest also given that when in proximity to a superconductor they can be effectively engineered to realize Majorana bound states. In this work we study how a boron nitride substrate affects the electronic properties of graphene nanoribbons. We consider both armchair and zigzag nanoribbons. Our results show that for some stacking configurations the boron nitride can significantly affect the electronic structure of the ribbons. In particular, for zigzag nanoribbons, due to the lock between spin and sublattice degree of freedom at the edges, the hexagonal boron nitride can induce a very strong spin splitting of the spin-polarized, edge states. We find that such spin splitting can be as high as 40 meV.

Effect of low-energy ion impact on the structure of hexagonal boron nitride films studied in surface-wave plasma
摘要： A high‐density surface‐wave plasma source is used to deposit hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) films in a gas mixture of He, H2, N2, Ar, and BF3 under a high ion flux condition using low‐energy ion irradiation. The ion energy is controlled between around zero and 100 eV by applying a negative or positive bias voltage to a substrate, while the ion flux is increased by locating a substrate upstream in the diffusive plasma. For ion energies above ～37 eV, the structure of the films depends upon ion energy more than substrate temperature, typical of subplantation processes. As a result, the structural order and crystallinity of sp2‐bonded phase in the films characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction are increased with decreasing ion energy, while the mass density of the films characterized by X‐ray reflectivity is retained relatively high with a slight dependence upon ion energy.

Structure, morphology and dielectric properties of hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles reinforced biopolymer nanocomposites
摘要： Hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles (h-BNNPs)/Chitosan (CS)/Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) based ternary nanocomposites were prepared using solution casting method and characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analyses (TGA), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Atomic force microscopy (AFM). The dielectric properties of CS/HPMC/h-BNNP nanocomposite films were also investigated as a function of frequency and temperature and a maximum dielectric constant of ~1200 was achieved at 5 wt % of h-BNNP loading in CS/HPMC blend matrix. The results from the structural, morphological and thermal studies revealed good interactions between h-BNNPs, CS and HPMC.

Synergic effect of pore size engineering and an applied electric field on the controlled permeation of alkali metal atoms and ions across pristine and defect-containing h-BN sheets
摘要： The permeation and selectivity of alkali metal atoms and ions through normal and defected hexagonal boron nitride was studied in the presence and absence of water and an electric field. The defects include one (VB & VN), two (VBN) and three atom (VN2B) vacancies. The morphology and size of the pore (defect) in the h-BN sheet significantly affect the energy barriers. These results indicate that an h-BN sheet with appropriate pore size possesses good Li/Li+ selectivity. The permeation of lithium atoms through VN2B-h-BN is almost a barrierless process (1.75 kcal mol?1). Moreover, the VBN h-BN nanosheet selectively allows the passage of Li atoms at room temperature with the highest selectivity ratio of 1.58 × 1013. The presence of water molecules increases the barrier of alkali metal atom permeation. The effect of water molecules is more pronounced for alkali metal atom permeation through a defected h-BN nanosheet as compared to alkali metal ions. An applied electric field perpendicular to the h-BN sheet further decreases the permeation barriers. For example, the energy barrier is reduced to 31 kcal mol?1 (from 34 kcal mol?1) in the presence of an electric field for the permeation of lithium through H2O–VB h-BN–H2O. These studies can be extended to investigate the separation capability of porous hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets for other metal atoms and ions.
