Absorption and magnetic properties of the as-prepared BCN nanosheets. (a) UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) results. Inset is the valence-band XPS spectra comparison of the BNNSs and BCN nanosheets. (b) Tauc plot of the as-prepared BCN nanosheets with different C concentrations. The inset shows the band gap variation of BNNSs and BCN nanosheets from the Tauc plot. (c) Magnetization vs. magnetic field (M-H) curves of different C concentration nanosheets measured at room temperature. The curves show nonzero magnetization at room temperature. (d) Relationship between saturation magnetization and coercive fields with C concentration.
