Tc. Zhang et al., WURTZITE BORON-NITRIDE CRYSTAL-GROWTH IN THE REGION OF CUBIC BORON-NITRIDE CRYSTAL SYNTHESIZING, Chinese Physics Letters, 15(1), 1998, pp. 70-71
Micro-grains of wurtzite boron nitride(wBN) crystal have been observed
in the region of 5.0-7.0 GPa pressure and 1800-2000 K temperature whe
re cubic boron nitride has been synthesized in the presence of a catal
yst. The wBN grain size is abo ut 20-30 nm. The presence of these micr
o-grains indicates that the pressure for wBN growth could be lower tha
n that found in the previous work.
