Spontaneous emission of light by non-equilibrium phonons
J. Plo, P. Valvin, M. Moret +8
When a system is brought out of equilibrium by an external excitation, its relaxation to thermodynamic equilibrium generates phonons. These non-equilibrium phonons degrade via casc…
In-situ Silicon Doped hBN by High-Temperature Molecular Beam Epitaxy Enables Single Photon Emission
Jiyun Kim, Nika Teran, Juliette Plo +8
Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has emerged as a leading host for optically active quantum defects. Yet introduction of specific impurity species other than carbon remains unexplored…
Growth of rhombohedral boron nitride crystals using an iron flux
W. Desrat, M. Moret, J. Plo +7
We report the growth of high quality rhombohedral boron nitride (rBN) crystals by the iron flux method at atmospheric pressure. In contrast to the lamellar structure of standard he…
Growth of hexagonal BN crystals by traveling-solvent floating zone
Eli Zoghlin, Juliette Plo, Gaihua Ye +11
Large, high-purity single-crystals of hexagonal BN (h-BN) are essential for exploiting its many desirable and interesting properties. Here, we demonstrate via X-ray tomography, X-r…
