Abstract

Box-shaped nanostructures of B–C–N compounds were synthesized by reactive sputtering of boron carbide in mixed argon and nitrogen discharges. Transmission electron microscopy showed that these nanoboxes were grown on self-patterned NaCl substrate with projected areas ranging from ∼1×10² to ∼5×10⁴ nm², sizes 50–100 nm, and number density ∼100 μm⁻². Electron energy loss spectroscopy revealed a phase separation of BN and C:N layers.
