We studied electrical transport in single-crystalline boron nanobelts with α-tetragonal crystalline structure. We obtained ohmic contacts to the boron nanobelts by metal electrodes of Ni∕Au bilayer. From the temperature dependence of electrical conductance, we found that the boron nanobelt is a semiconductor. The electrical conductivity was of the order of 10−3(Ωcm)−1 at 295 K. Fitting the results to variable-range-hopping conduction revealed a high density of localized states at the Fermi level compared with bulk β-rhombohedral boron.
