• by an unconventional wet route followed by melting [31][37][38]. As raw materials, the ultra-purity grade reagents boron oxide (B2O3), magnesium oxide (MgO,) potassium carbonate (K2CO3), phosphoric acid (H3PO4), silicon dioxide (SiO2), zinc oxide (ZnO), and cerium oxide (CeO2) have been used.

• thin films [19][20]. Thin films were prepared using a novel, large-area deposition system designed for the directed deposition of macroscopic features using the EBID process. Deposition mechanisms of boron oxide from TMB precursor were determined from the thin-film deposition rate and stoichiometry as

Keywords: boron nitride nanotube; chemical vapor deposition; colemanite; synthesis; Introduction Colemanite (Ca2B6O11·5H2O) is one of the most important compounds of more than 200 different boron ores. All boron ores include boron oxide (B2O3) at varying percentages in
