Popis: | Hexagonal, graphitelike boron nitride may be changed directly into the zincblende cubic form reported earlier or into a new wurtzite form by the application of static high pressures. No catalyst appears to be necessary. At high temperatures, between about 2500° and 4000°K, the zincblende form is favored; at lower temperatures, down to 300°K, the wurtzite form is favored; frequently both forms appear together. The minimum pressure required for the transformations is about 115 kbar at 2000°K; somewhat higher pressures, of the order of 130 kbar, suffice at higher and lower temperatures. The crystallites of the dense phases are small but give good x‐ray diffraction patterns from which the crystal structures can be determined. |
