Résumé: In this paper, I will review our recent results demonstrating that hBN has an indirect bandgap at 5.9 eV. I will show that the optical properties of hBN are profoundly determined by phonon-assisted transitions with a mirror symmetry between emission and absorption around the indirect exciton at 5.9 eV (Figure 1). I will provide a comprehensive analysis of the emission spectrum in the deep ultraviolet in terms of phonon-assisted transitions involving either virtual or real excitonic states, the latter being provided by structural defects. I will finally point out the complex relaxation dynamics of the quantum gas formed by the reservoir of indirect excitons.

Résumé: Hexagonal boron nitride is a wide bandgap semiconductor with a very high thermal and chemical stability used in devices operating under extreme conditions. The growth of high-purity crystals has recently revealed the potential of this material for deep ultraviolet emission, with an intense emission around 215 nm. In the last few years, hexagonal boron nitride has been raising even more attention with the emergence of two-dimensional atomic crystals and Van der Waals heterostructures, initiated with the discovery of graphene. Despite this growing interest and a seemingly simple structure, the basic questions of the bandgap nature and value are still controversial. Here, we resolve this long-debated issue by bringing the evidence for an indirect bandgap at 5.955 eV by means of optical spectroscopy. We demonstrate the existence of phonon-assisted optical transitions, and we measure an exciton binding energy of about 130 meV by two-photon spectroscopy.

Intervalley scattering in hexagonal boron nitride
Auteur(s): Cassabois G., Valvin P., Gil B.
(Article) Publié:
Physical Review B, vol. 93 p.035207 (2016)
DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.93.035207
WoS: 000369221000004

Résumé: We report photoluminescence experiments bringing the evidence for intervalley scattering in bulk hexagonal boron nitride. From a quantitative analysis of the defect-related emission band, we demonstrate that transverse optical phonons at the K point of the Brillouin zone assist inter-K valley scattering, which becomes observable because stacking faults in bulk hexagonal boron nitride provide a density of final electronic states. Time-resolved experiments highlight the different recombination dynamics of the phonon replicas implying either virtual excitonic states or real electronic states in the structural defects.
Commentaires: Editors' suggestion:
The authors have conducted an experimental study of hexagonal boron nitride using steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence. The assignment of previously observed lines of unknown origin is made convincingly to indirect excitons assisted by acoustic and optical phonons and to defect-assisted transitions. This is further evidence for h-BN being an indirect band-gap semiconductor.
