A transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction investigation of BN fibers 5 to 7 μm in diameter indicates that the structure can be interpreted in terms of atomic disorder over distances comparable to the atomic spacing. Thermal conductivity considerations suggest that the disorder results from the “quenching in” of thermally induced atomic vibrations.
