Abstract

B–C–N is an emerging material system consisting of novel nanostructures of boron (B), carbon (C), boron nitride (BN), carbon nitride (CN x ), boron-carbon nitride (B x C y N z ), and boron carbide (B x C y ). These B–C–N materials are sometimes called as frontier carbon materials, because of their flexibility in forming materials of various types of hybridizations similar to those in the pure carbon system. This chapter provides a concise introduction on all these materials. Readers are referred to various references and other chapters compiled in this book for further reading.
