N2 - Electronic structure of individual boron nanobelts, which supposedly have α-tetragonal boron structure, was studied with electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) and soft X-ray emission spectroscopy (SXES) in a transmission electron microscope. A boron K-shell excitation spectrum by EELS and boron K-emission spectra by SXES correspond to partial density of states of the conduction and the valence bands, respectively. Experimental results reveal that boron nanobelts are either a semimetal or narrow-gap semiconductor.
