C : an ion beamed sample is showing the porous nature of the material
D: a SEM view of the boron “elbow”
E : TEM view of the covalent nanojunction
F : TEM two tubes “welded” together due to the boron doping

XPS characterizationg of the boron bonding states.
This tells the reasercher how the boron is bonded to the rest of the structure.
