Abstract

Cubic boron nitride (c-BN) is a synthetic material which exhibits exceptional physicochemical properties such as: hardness, thermal conductivity, thermo-chemical stability, semiconducting properties and radiations resistance. Such outstanding properties make it a promising multifunctional material for applications in extreme conditions, as those found in the outer space environment. Its further use for such applications requires, however, a much better understanding of the lattice defects and radiation damage properties. Here we present the results of multifrequency ESR studies concerning the native and radiation induced point defects in crystalline c-BN under irradiation with high intensity 1MeV electron beams.
