Abstract: The article presents a theoretical study of new polymorphic varieties of boron nitride with diamond-like structures. As a result of calculations by the density functional theory method in the gradient approximation, the possibility of stable existence of four new structural varieties of boron nitride: BN – LA4, BN – LA5, BN – LA6, and BN – LA7 was established. The sublimation energy of new BN phases varies in the range from 16,85 to 17,84 eV/(BN), the band gap is from 4,34 to 6,07 eV. The bulk density of  polymorphs varies from 3,020 to 3,452 g/cm3.

Keywords: boron nitride, diamond-like phases, ab initio calculations, crystal structure, electronic properties, polymorphism
