Boron Activity in Metal Containing Materials

Boron is one of the most popular materials in recent technologies due to its potential to emerge desired technological results. Many attempts have been done to understand the boron activity in crystal media or on the electronic properties of the materials to understand the mechanisms as a result of interesting molecular interplays between neighboring atoms. In the most studies, boron atoms did not have the main role in the first steps of the scientific study where it took placed. However, mostly it has become the key element and the main role player that is reported as the interesting results of the research. In this study, the background activities of the boron atom are investigated regarding its roles as dopant or substitution element.
