Electrochemical properties of boron–carbon–nitride films formed by magnetron sputtering

Chemical bonds and elemental compositions of BCxNy layers produced by chemical vapor deposition with trimethylamine borane, triethylamine borane, or trimethylborazine

“…Therefore, the preparation of single‐phase h‐BCN compounds is a great challenge in view of the difficulty to synthesize controlled compositions . Only few authors provide stoichiometric formulas for the new compounds …”

Effect of nitrogen pressure on structure and optical properties of pulsed laser deposited BCN thin films

“…Hence, the shift of these peaks may be regarded as a change from B-C bond to B-N bond. In addition, the absorption bands of C-N, C=N, C-C and C=C bonds have been observed at ∼1300, ∼1600, ∼1410 and ∼1600 cm − 1 , respectively [18]. Thus, it can be concluded that the broad absorption structure between 1000 and 1700 cm − 1 may contain contributions from all above mentioned bonds.…”

Stoichiometric controlling of boroncarbonitride thin films with using BN-C dual-targets

“…Six references of C=N, B-N sp 2 , C-N, B-C sp 2 , B-C sp 3 and B-N sp 3 have been included. 12,13,22,23 The h-BN presents two characteristic absorption bands at 1370 and 750 cm −1 associated with the in-plane stretching (B-N sp 3 ) and the out-of plane bending vibration (B-N sp 2 ), respectively. 22 The B-C bands (sp 3 ) normally appear at 1100 cm −1 and the addition of carbon leads a displacement to higher frequencies side.…”

“…6,[8][9][10] Actually, the properties of B x C y N z are strongly depended on band gap (E g ), 11 which would be a function of stoichiometry. Especially, carbon-rich B x C y N z exhibited good electrochemical 12 and mechanical 13 properties. However, there are a very few studies mentioned stoichiometric controlling of that interesting material.…”
