Notes:
The structural evolution in rhombohedral-type boron nitride (r-BN) pressed up to 7.7 GPa at room temperature is examined before and after pressing using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. In the starting state, r-BN is in a platelike form with some folding. The plates consist of an almost perfect 3R structure. After pressing, a large number of stacking faults is formed and causes mixing of 3R and 2H in a few areas and a highly irregular stacking structure in most areas. This means that the coherent slip due to shearing between sp2 sheets is the dominant deformation mechanism in r-BN under high pressure at room temperature. All of these structures cause a broadening of the x-ray diffraction peaks. In some plates, the 2H structure is found in a relatively large area. It has a hexagonal lattice with the stacking sequence of ...ABAB... and lattice constants of a=0.25 nm and c=0.67 nm. The structural evolution in r-BN revealed after pressing is in contrast to that in hexagonal-type BN, in which twinning is the dominant deformation mechanism that introduces the folding of plates under high pressure at high temperature. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
