Ammonothermal Growth of Boron Nitride
Jacob DooleyLehigh University – Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA_______________________________________ Boron nitride (BN) has numerous advantageous physical and electrical properties for mechanical and (opto-)electronic applications, that are useful towards high frequency applications, energy efficient power conversion, and 2D functional heterostructures. The challenge is growing large single crystals of BN required to build these devices. The most successful technique…

A question of polytype control and quality: from heteroepitaxy to homoepitaxy of boron nitride
Johannes BinderUniversity of Warsaw – Warsaw, Poland_______________________________________ Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a two-dimensional (2D) material and a member of the III-nitride family that has recently attracted great interest due to its versatile range of applications, for example as hydrogen barrier1, UV light source2, tunnelling barrier3, single-photon emitter4, excellent substrate for growth and gating of…
