Cubic boron nitride: an experimental and theoretical ELNES study
نویسندگان
چکیده
A comparison between experimental and theoretical electron Energy Loss Near Edge Structure (ELNES) of B and N K-edges in cubic boron nitride is presented. The electron energy loss spectra of cubic boron nitride particles were measured using a scanning transmission electron microscope. The theoretical calculation of the ELNES was performed within the framework of density functional theory including single particle core-hole effects. It is found that experimental and calculated ELNES of both the B and N K-edges in cubic boron nitride show excellent agreement. Typeset using REVTEX

متن کاملIslanding and strain-induced shifts in the infrared absorption peaks of cubic boron nitride thin films
Experimental and theoretical investigations of the infrared-active, polarization-dependent phonon frequencies of cubic boron nitride films have been performed in light of recent claims that large frequency shifts during initial nucleation are the result of strain caused by highly nonequilibrium growth conditions. We show that the formation of small, separate grains of cubic boron nitride during...

متن کاملThermodynamic Analysis about Nucleation and Growth of Cubic Boron Nitride Crystals in the hBN-Li3N System under High Pressure and High Temperature
The nucleation of cubic boron nitride (cBN) single crystals synthesized with lithium nitride (Li3N) as a catalyst under high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) was analyzed. Many nanometer-sized cubic boron nitride nuclei formed in the near surface layer, as detected by high resolution transmission electron microscopy. Based on the experiment results, the transformation kinetics is described ...
متن کاملReactivity of different tBN environments serving as reaction sites in cBN film deposition
Experimental observation of cubic boron nitride (cBN) growth on most substrates showed that cBN nucleated and grew on turbostratic boron nitride (tBN) layers. TEM study of BN films deposited by both PVD and CVD methods revealed three major types of tBN environments in the tBN layer wtBN with its (0002) planes parallel to the growth direction (I), perpendicular to the growth direction (II) and w...
