Surface processes in cubic boron nitride growth: a theoretical study
Article Abstract:
A theoretical study of surface processes for the B/N/H/F occurring during chemical vapor deposition growth of cubic boron nitride showed that both F and H species were efficient surface stabilizing agents. An investigation of the B(111) surface stabilization and the adsorption occurring on this surface during thin film growth revealed that the strongest adsorption occurred on the H-terminated areas. A study of the mobility of NH2 and BH2 on the H-terminated B(111) surface suggested that such mobility is much smaller than that of CH2 of diamond (111).

Partial electron transfer during vapor growth of diamond on a (111) surface
Article Abstract:
A theoretical study was conducted to investigate the correlation between partial electron transfer during an adsorption reaction and the corresponding adsorption energy. Various, significant CVD growth species including ordinary and halogenated hydrocarbons as well as H and F, respectively, were allowed to be adsorbed on a surface radical site on diamond (111). The experiment is an extension of calculations performed in previous studies.

Diamond nucleation on hexagonal boron nitride: a theoretical investigation of the influence of CH3 and Na substituents
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to analyze the effects of CH3 and sodium on diamond nucleation on hexagonal boron nitride. Methyl and sodium species were utilized as substituents on zigzag edge atoms on the basal plane. Experimental results indicated that diamond nucleation stabilization energies were similar for both the B and N-rich edges, and for the substituents CH3, hydrogen, and sodium.
