ABSTRACTWe report the growth of boron nitride films on (001), (110), and (111) faces of silicon using the method of pulsed excimer laser ablation. The structure of the Alms grown on the (001) and (110) orientations of Si is cubic zincblende with a lattice constant of 3.619 Å. The films were found to be heteroepitaxial on silicon (001) with the cubic BN (100) axes parallel to Si (100), as characterized by x-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. In that system, we find evidence for an unusual 3:2 commensurate lattice matching. The films appear to cubic but randomly oriented on the Si (110), and no evidence for crystallinity is found for films grown on Si (111).

Adopting a wet chemistry method, Au and Fe3O4 nanoparticles were functionalized on boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) successfully for the first time. X-ray diffraction pattern and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the resultant products. Subsequently, a method was proposed to fabricate heterojunction structures based on the particle-functionalized BNNTs. As a demonstration, BNNT-carbon nanostructure, BNNT-ZnO and BNNT-Ga2O3 junctions were successfully fabricated using the functionalized particles as catalysts.

In this work, the interaction of a mixture of Al and BN nanopowder with hydrogen microwave plasma was studied. Using X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, the formation of AlN and AlB2 nanocrystals as a result of short-term (~ 30 ms) interaction of Al vapor with h-BN was established. Obtained results also indicate the formation of hydrogenated hexagonal boron nitride h-BN-H. The critical shear stresses were calculated for the interfaces between BN and Al, AlB2, and AlN. Approaches for increasing the strength of the composite materials based on hexagonal boron nitride and aluminum are discussed.

Boron Nitride Films

ABSTRACTWe report the successful growth of cubic boron nitride thin films on single crystal 100 silicon by using pulsed excimer laser ablation of a hexagonal boron nitride bulk target. Optical emission spectra were obtained during the film deposition giving insight into the deposition mechanism. The deposited films were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and Auger electron microscopy. Regions of the films were found to exhibit epitaxy with the substrate.

Resolution Study

The phenomenon of clustering in Al-Ag alloys has been extensively studied since the early work of Guinierl, wherein the pre-precipitation state was characterized as an assembly of spherical, ordered, silver-rich G.P. zones. Subsequent x-ray and TEM investigations yielded results in general agreement with this model. However, serious discrepancies were later revealed by the detailed x-ray diffraction - based computer simulations of Gragg and Cohen, i.e., the silver-rich clusters were instead octahedral in shape and fully disordered, atleast below 170°C. The object of the present investigation is to examine directly the structural characteristics of G.P. zones in Al-Ag by high resolution transmission electron microscopy.

Chert samples from different coastal and inland outcrops in the Eastern Asturias (Spain) were mineralogically investigated for the first time for archaeological purposes. X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, transmission electron microscopy, infrared and Raman spectroscopy and total organic carbon techniques were used. The low content of moganite, since its detection by X-ray diffraction is practically imperceptible, and the crystallite size (over 1000 Å) of the quartz in these cherts would be indicative of its maturity and could potentially be used for dating chert-tools recovered from archaeological sites. Also, this information can constitute essential data to differentiate the cherts and compare them with those used in archaeological tools. However, neither composition nor crystallite size would allow distinguishing between coastal and inland chert outcrops belonging to the same geological formations.

AbstractThe detonation of explosives typically creates 100's of kbar pressures and 1000's K temperatures. These pressures and temperatures last for only a fraction of a microsecond as the products expand. Nucleation and growth of crystalline materials can occur under these conditions. Recovery of these materials is difficult but can occur in some circumstances. This paper describes the detonation synthesis facility, recovery of nano-size diamond, and plans to synthesize other nano-size materials by modifying the chemical composition of explosive compounds. The characterization of nano-size diamonds by transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy will also be reported.
