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…

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…

Isotope substitution and polytype control for point defects identification: the case of the ultraviolet color center in hexagonal boron nitride
J. Plo, A. Pershin, S. Li +18
Defects in crystals can have a transformative effect on the properties and functionalities of solid-state systems. Dopants in semiconductors are core components in electronic and o…
