Investigations on ternary B-C-N materials

Abstract

Isoelectronic BC_xN compounds have been researched widely. However, electron-deficient boron-rich B-C-N solids have also attracted much interest both theoretically and experimentally. In this paper, we introduce the synthesis, theoretical prediction, and physical properties of crystalline ternary B-C-N compounds. Our recent work reveals that the novel B-C-N materials may have a wide variety of crystal structures with different characteristics.
