Abstract
The results of measurements of BKalpha, NKalpha and CKalpha (ultra-soft X-ray emission spectra of boron carbonitride phases synthesized by nitridation of boron carbide at 1200, 1800 and 24 000 degrees C) are presented. The obtained results are compared with spectra of reference compounds (a-B, B4C, BN and graphite). It was found that BKalpha and NKalpha spectra of carbonitride phases were identical to that of BN. On the other hand, CKalpha spectra of the BCN system were very similar to that of graphite. No trace of B-C chemical bonding was found for BCN compounds. The obtained results confirm the structural model of the ternary compound according to which separate boron nitride and graphite layers are in random intercalation.
