Cubic boron nitride synthesis in low‐density supersonic plasma flows
Darren Berns,Mark A. Cappelli +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the growth of cubic boron nitride films on {100} silicon using a low density, supersonic plasma jet generated by a direct-current arc discharge expanded to low pressures was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low energy ion impact-enhanced growth of cubic boron nitride in a supersonic nitrogen/argon plasma flow
Darren Berns,Mark A. Cappelli +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the growth and analysis of cubic boron nitride films in a low-density, supersonic nitrogen/argon plasma flow into which Boron trichloride gas was injected was described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy of arcjet-deposited cubic boron nitride
TL;DR: In this article, near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy was employed to help determine the structure of boron nitride films grown by biasenhanced chemical vapor deposition in a low-density supersonic arcjet flow.
Plasma and Cathode Emission from a High Power Hydrogen Arcjet Thruster
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental study of the measurement of cathode temperature, current distribution, and near-cathode electron number density in a high power hydrogen arcjet is presented, motivated by the desire to better understand arc-electrode interactions in arcjet thrusters.
