Abstract

We report the successful synthesis of BxCyNz nanotubes. Arc-discharge methods were used to produce stable nanotubule structures identified by high-resolution transmission-electron microscopy. Local electron-energy-loss spectroscopy of K-edge absorptions for B, C, and N atoms was used to determine the atomic compositions of individual tubules. Tubes of stoichiometry BC2N and BC3 have been observed, in agreement with theoretical predictions.
