AB  - In the last few decades, aluminum nitride (AlN) and boron nitride (BN) have become a point of interest to many researchers and scholars from different disciplines around the world. Due to its attractive properties, AlN has been successfully used in various applications, starting from advanced ceramics materials, additive for grain size control in micro-alloyed steels, through optoelectronics and microelectronics, and finally to semiconductors. On the other hand, BN has broad applications in various fields, such as 2D material, lubricant material, superhard and semiconductor material as well as many others. This study focuses on the mixed AlN/BN compounds, in particular, boron-rich AlN and aluminum-rich BN systems, thus having the entire range of AlN/BN compositions. The special focus was on structural properties investigated using the hybrid B3LYP method. Important structural properties were investigated to offer novel technological and industrial applications of mixed AlN/BN materials.

AB  - Aluminum nitride (AlN) and boron nitride (BN) are well-known ceramic materials with numerous valuable properties, whereas recently there is a growing field of research on the AlN/BN advanced ceramic materials. Here, we present a study on boron-rich AlN, structural and electronic properties, and structure–property relationship. Several AlxB1−xN solid solutions (x = 1, .875, .75, and .625) have been investigated, and structure optimization has been performed for four different structure types: h-BN, wurtzite, sphalerite, and rock salt. First-principles calculations were performed using hybrid B3LYP functional. New modifications and compounds have been predicted as a function of boron concentration in AlN, and especially, interesting phase transitions were found at extreme pressure conditions. Electronic properties and band structures were computed, and the possibility for bandgap tuning has been discovered. The present study, and especially the structure–property relationship, gives new possibilities for bandgap engineering in boron-rich AlN electroceramic materials.

AB  - The influence of the structure type on the boron nitride (BN) properties such as excellent thermal and chemical stability and super hardness is well known. The effect of aluminum addition on four different structure types of boron nitride (wurtzite, h-BN, sphalerite, and rock salt) and its electronic properties have been investigated in our study. Here we present an ab initio study of the B1-xAlxN solid solutions for (x ​= ​0; 0.125; 0.25; 0.375 and 0.5), and corresponding structure-property relationship. Novel structures have been discovered in new Al-rich boron nitride compounds and some of them indicate AlN-BN layer separation. Electronic properties have been studied in great detail using hybrid B3LYP approximation. Present results suggest great diversity of the electronic properties generated by adding aluminum to boron nitride and that by using these predicted modifications in various investigated AlN-BN compounds, one could obtain fine-tuning of the band gap in boron nitride electroceramics.

AB  - Additive-free boron carbide (B4C) – silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic composites with different B4C and β-SiC powders ratio were densified using the high-pressure “anvil-type with hollows” apparatus at 1500 °C under a pressure of 4 GPa for 60 s in air. The effect of starting powders ratio on the composites sintering behavior, relative density, microstructural development, and thermomechanical properties was studied. The sintered samples hardness was found to be in the range from 24 to 31 GPa. The thermal conductivity measurements, conducted in the temperature range from room temperature to 1000 °C, showed that the thermal diffusivity of sintered samples was between 6 and 9.5 mm2/s whereas the thermal conductivity was in the range from 16 to 28 W/(m K). The results of this study show that the high-pressure sintering can be a very effective low-temperature densification method for the obtainment of additive-free B4C - β-SiC ceramic composites. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd
