Abstract

The presence of a small amount of water in the process of shock compression of graphite-like boron nitride hinders the formation of crystal structure defects in BNg and suppresses the reverse transformation of the wurtzite phase. As a result, the amount of the wurtzite phase grows compared with that of the graphitelike phase. However, the extent of this phenomenon is decreased by partial hydrolysis of boron nitride, leading to the formation of boric anhydride. The monocrystalline particles of the wurtzite phase forming during shock compression with water are much larger than the particles produced in the absence of additions. The level of internal defectiveness in BNw particles, which determines the widths of lines in x-ray diffraction photographs, is virtually independent of compression conditions.
