RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Elasticity of hexagonal boron nitride: Inelastic x-ray scattering measurements A1 Bosak, Alexey A1 Krisch, Michael A1 Watanabe, Kenji A1 Taniguchi, Takashi A1 Kanda, Hisao A1 Serrano GutiƩrrez, Jorge AB 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.
