LIGHT EMITTING SOURCE AND METHOD FOR EMITTING LIGHT BASED ON BORON NITRIDE NANOTUBES

摘要

The present invention relates to a source for emitting broad spectrum light of controllable frequency comprising boron nitride nanotubes with defects caused by the vacancy of a boron atom in the tubular structure and wherein the source is further provided with means for producing an electric field perpendicular to the tube. The invention can be used as a field-effect transistor (by adding electrodes) or as a source for converting energy of an incoming beam.
