  • Unusual high thermal conductivity in boron arsenide bulk crystals
    Patent number: 11975979
    Abstract: A method for growing bulk boron arsenide (BA) crystals, the method comprising utilizing a seeded chemical vapor transport (CVT) growth mechanism to produce single BAs crystals which are used for further CVT growth, wherein a sparsity of nucleation centers is controlled during the further CVT growth. Also disclosed are bulk BAs crystals produced via the method.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 20, 2019
    Date of Patent: May 7, 2024
    Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON SYSTEM
    Inventors: Zhifeng Ren, Fei Tian, Gang Chen, Bai Song, Ke Chen, Li Shi, Xi Chen, Sean Sullivan, David Broido, Navaneetha Krishnan Ravichandran
