The nature of ^*-band, near 188-194 eV, from B K EELS spectra of borate minerals and boron containing glasses has been well documented. The ban results rom teh transition of B 1s to P ^* in B with sp hybridization. Similarly, the higher energy broad band is attributed to the transition from B 1s to P in B Radiation effects on B04 conversion to Bo3 was also studied in details for crystalline solids by Sauer et al.
