摘要
The isotope distribution in natural and isotope enriched boron and in natural carbon makes different micro-compositions of the structure elements in boron carbide distinguishable by their lattice vibrations. The phonon band of the stretching mode of the central atom yields the C-B-C and C-B-B chain concentrations. Based on the chemical analysis the portions Of B-12 and B11C icosahedra were derived, too. The structure is not uniform at any composition. B4.3C is most homogeneus but contains 19 % C-B-B besides of 81 % C-B-C chains. The minimum content of B11C icosahedra (60 %) is at B6.5C. The force constant in the chains at B4.3C is 5.6 mdyne A-1. Present structure conceptions are largely disproved; related models of physical properties must be revised.
