Abstract
The aim of the present work was to investigate the in-oxygen-hydrogen- flame synthesis process of BN using a new source of boron and nitrogen , namely the borane-ammonia compound BH3.NH3, and placing the flame in a strong electric field (6 x 10(5) V m(-1)). The metastable form of B N, E-BN, forms as result of an in-flame reaction. The yield of the E-B N synthesis is strongly affected by the presence of the electric field .
