Phase diagram of the B-BN system at 5 GPa.
The chemical interaction and phase relations in the B-BN system have been in situ studied at 5 GPa and temperatures up to 2800 K using X-ray diffraction with synchrotron radiation. The thermodynamic analysis of the B-BN system based on experimental data allowed us to construct equilibrium and metastable phase diagrams of the system at 5 GPa. The only thermodynamically stable boron subnitride, B(13)N(2), melts incongruently at 2600 K and forms eutectic equilibrium with boron at 2300 K and 4 at. % of nitrogen.
