The Physical Structure Of Boron Nitride

The physical structure of boron nitride

The hexagonal crystals of boron nitride are more common in graphite lattices, and there are also amorphous variants. In addition to the hexagonal crystal forms, boron carbide has other crystal forms, including: rhombohedral boron nitride (abbreviation: r-BN, or Name: trigonal boron nitride, its structure is similar to h-BN, it will be produced in the process of converting h-BN to c-BN), cubic boron nitride [abbreviation: c-BN, or |3-BN, or z -BN (namely sphalerite type boron nitride), the texture is very hard], wurtzite type boron nitride (abbreviation: w-BN, h-BN is a hard state under high pressure). People even found two-dimensional boron nitride crystals like graphene (similar to MoS: two-dimensional crystals).
