AbstractPoint defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) have attracted growing attention as bright single-photon emitters. However, understanding of their atomic structure and radiative properties remains incomplete. Here we study the excited states and radiative lifetimes of over 20 native defects and carbon or oxygen impurities in hBN using ab initio density functional theory and GW plus Bethe-Salpeter equation calculations, generating a large data set of their emission energy, polarization and lifetime. We find a wide variability across quantum emitters, with exciton energies ranging from 0.3 to 4 eV and radiative lifetimes from ns to ms for different defect structures. Through a Bayesian statistical analysis, we identify various high-likelihood charge-neutral defect emitters, among which the native VNNB defect is predicted to possess emission energy and radiative lifetime in agreement with experiments. Our work advances the microscopic understanding of hBN single-photon emitters and introduces a computational framework to characterize and identify quantum emitters in 2D materials.

ABSTRACTIn cubic boron nitride made by high pressure and high temperature technique in our institute, we have found three luminescence bands in the ultraviolet and the short visible region at room temperature by cathode-ray excitation. They are: a band having vibrational structure and ascribable to undoped state of the crystal, a band ascribable to p-type doping and a band ascribable to n-type doping. Discussion is made on differences between the injection luminescence and the cathodoluminescence. Potentialities and difficulties in realizing the potentialities of cBN for optoelectronic applications are discussed.

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has potential applications in protective coatings, single photon emitters and as substrate for graphene electronics. In this paper, we report on the growth of h-BN by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using ammonia borane as the precursor. Use of CVD allows controlled synthesis over large areas defined by process parameters, e.g. temperature, time, process chamber pressure and gas partial pressures. Furthermore, independently grown graphene and h-BN layers are put together to realize enhancement in electronic properties of graphene.

Materials with high thermal conductivity (κ) are of technological importance and fundamental interest. We grew cubic boron nitride (cBN) crystals with controlled abundance of boron isotopes and measured κ greater than 1600 watts per meter-kelvin at room temperature in samples with enriched 10B or 11B. In comparison, we found that the isotope enhancement of κ is considerably lower for boron phosphide and boron arsenide as the identical isotopic mass disorder becomes increasingly invisible to phonons. The ultrahigh κ in conjunction with its wide bandgap (6.2 electron volts) makes cBN a promising material for microelectronics thermal management, high-power electronics, and optoelectronics applications.
