Popis: | The structural characteristics and chemical, morphological, and optical properties of cBN and cBN:Gd micropowders are studied by x-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive electron probe microanalysis (x-ray spectral microanalysis), and photoluminescence techniques. Cubic boron nitride (cBN) micropowders were synthesized at high pressures and temperatures from hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) micropowder and Li3N catalyst. cBN:Gd micropowders were synthesized from mixtures of hBN, Li3N, and GdF3 micropowders. A lattice parameter of a~3.615 A is calculated for both types of powder (cBN and cBN:Gd). The photoluminescence spectra of the cBN:Gd powder are found to contain emission lines attributable to intracenter optical transitions of Gd3+ ions. |
