Elasticity of hexagonal boron nitride: Inelastic x-ray scattering measurements

The five independent elastic moduli of single-crystalline hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) are determined using inelastic x-ray scattering. At room temperature the elastic moduli are in units of GPa C11=811, C12=169, C13=0, C33=27.0, and C44=7.7. Our experimental results are compared with predictions...

Descripción
Sumario:The five independent elastic moduli of single-crystalline hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) are determined using inelastic x-ray scattering. At room temperature the elastic moduli are in units of GPa C11=811, C12=169, C13=0, C33=27.0, and C44=7.7. Our experimental results are compared with predictions of ab initio calculations and previously reported incomplete datasets. These results provide solid background for further theoretical advances and quantitative input to model elasticity in boron nitride (BN) nanotubes.
