Theoretical Design of Novel Boron-Based Nanowires Inverse Sandwich Clusters.

Borophene has important application value, boron nanomaterials doped with transition metal have wondrous structures and chemical bonding. However, little attention was paid to the boron nanowires (NWs). Inspired by the novel metal boron clusters LnB (Ln = La, Pr, Tb, = 7-9) adopting inverse sandwich configuration, we examined ScB and YB clusters in such novel structure and found that they are the global minima and show good stability.
