Abstract

Disclosed is a method for depositing rare-earth boride onto the surface of a substrate which is submerged in an organic solution of borane and a rare-earth halide. Application of electromagnetic radiation, preferably in the visible wavelength range, near the surface of the submerged substrate drives the formation and deposition of rare-earth boride onto a substrate.
