Vf. Britun et al., Wurtzitic boron nitride thermal stability and transformation into the rhombohedral boron nitride modification when heated, MATER LETT, 41(2), 1999, pp. 83-88
Samples of wurtzitic boron nitride (wBN) were obtained from the rhombohedra
l BN (rBN) modification as a result of phase transformation under high pres
sures. Structure features and kinetics of wUN --> graphite-like BN transfor
mation in heating have been investigated. The nature of the low thermal sta
bility of wBN is discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reser
