Abstract
BC could be used as heat sink material based on the results of Debye temperature, melting temperature, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion coefficient. The electronic properties reveal the metallic behavior of these compounds. The results obtained here are compared with those of some commercially known compounds, where available.
