A thermodynamic model in nanoscale was developed to elucidate the nucleation of the cubic boron nitrides (c-BN) synthesized in the high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) supercritical-fluid systems under the conditions of the low-threshold-pressure (from 2.0±0.1 to 3.0 GPa) and low-temperature (1300–1500 K). Notably, taking the nanosize-induced interior pressure into account, the nucleation of c-BN could be driven to the new stable region from the metastable region in the general accepted equilibrium phase (P,T) diagram of BN proposed by Corrigan and Bundy, upon HPHT supercritical-fluid systems. The threshold pressure of the formation of c-BN was calculated based on our model, and these results are in excellent agreement with the experiment.
