Synchrotron radiation was used to form boron nitride from a mixture of diborane (B{sub 2}H{sub 6}) and ammonia condensed on a silver substrate at 78 K. Photoemission and near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure results show valence band and near-edge features characteristic of the hexagonal phase of boron nitride.
