Description

The decomposition of cobaltocene under low energy electron irradiation appears facile, and evidence suggests that the decomposition products lead to an increase in the carrier concentration in semiconducting boron carbides. Using cobaltocene to introduce dopants, we fabricated a semiconducting boron carbide homojunction. (orig.)
