We extensively study the fragmentation and Coulomb explosion of multiply charged small boron clusters B n (n=2-13), where n is the cluster size. Our calculations are based on ab initio quantum-chemistry methods. Highly ...

Solid alpha-B-12 rhombohedral and gamma-B-28 orthorhombic boron as well as boron nanostructures in the form of spheres, sheets, and multirings beside a ring consisting of icosahedral B-12 units were investigated using ab ...
