Cubic boron nitride (c-BN) thin films are of significant interest because of their diamond like
structure and properties. c-BN shows high thermal conductivity, chemical inertness against …

Cubic BN (cBN) has a set of extreme properties similar or even superior to diamond. The
advance of science and technology of cBN has however been severely hampered by the …

This paper reviews the “state-of-the-art” of the vapour phase deposition of cubic boron
nitride (cBN) in terms of the nucleation and growth processes on ion bombardment, and …

Cubic boron nitride thin films were deposited on (100) silicon substrates by DC jet plasma
chemical vapor deposition in an Ar–N 2–BF 3–H 2 gas system. Negative DC bias was …

Within the last decade mid-infrared absorption spectroscopy over a region from 3 to 17µm
and based on tuneable lead salt diode lasers, often called tuneable diode laser absorption …

A series of formal donor–acceptor adducts of aminoborane (H2BNH2) and its N-substituted
analogues (H2BNRR′) were prepared: LB-H2BNRR′ 2-BH3 (LB= DMAP, IPr, IPrCH2 and …

Low-dimensional carbon and boron nitride nanomaterials–hexagonal boron nitride,
graphene, boron nitride nanotubes and carbon nanotubes–remain at the forefront of …

Spectroscopic studies of microwave discharges in H 2–Ar–B 2 H 6 gas mixtures (f= 2.45
GHz, P= 1.2–3.5 kW, p= 1–8 mbar) have been performed to improve the possibilities of …

Cubic boron nitride films were successfully prepared on Si (100) substrates by radio
frequency (rf) bias sputtering of a hexagonal boron nitride target in pure Ar discharge with …

Single‐phase cubic boron nitride films of high quality might be of great importance as
superhard wear‐resistant coatings and semiconductive materials. This paper reviews …
