Abstract: Three types of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) with graphitic crystal structure having different microstructures were subjected to high pressures (HP) and high temperatures (HT), and the kinetics of the phase transitions to the sp$^3$-hybridized phases (w-BN, c-BN) was studied using in situ synchrotron diffraction. The analysis of the phase transformation kinetics revealed the transformation paths and activation energies E$_a$ of the transformation of h-BN to the high-pressure forms of BN for different microstructures of h-BN. Defect-poor h-BN transforms to metastable wurtzitic BN (w-BN) with E$_a$ ≈ 0.3 eV/at. Defect-rich forms of h-BN transform directly to c-BN, but with a higher activation energy. It was observed that the turbostratic disorder in h-BN retards the phase transition as compared to h-BN containing corrugated basal planes and a low degree of turbostracity. The experimental results are discussed in view of the microstructure changes during the HP/HT treatment and compared to available theoretical phase transition models.
