Abstract
The surface of sp 2 -hybridized boron nitride, namely well-crystallized hexagonal and poorly-crystallized turbostatic boron nitride, after its treatment in a hydrogen plasma was studied with the aid of high-resolution Auger spectroscopy. The surface state of both modifications of boron nitride is found to change due to interaction with excited hydrogen species. This interaction is thought to lead to termination of π (dangling) bonds of sp 2 -hybridized boron nitride by hydrogen atoms, which results in transformation of the sp 2 -hybridized state into the sp 3 -hybridized state on the surface of boron nitride.
