Journal ArticleDOI

Hexagonal boron nitride is an indirect bandgap semiconductor

TL;DR: In this article, the authors resolve the long-debated issue of the nature and value of the bandgap in hexagonal boron nitride by providing evidence for an indirect bandgap at 5.955 eV and an exciton binding energy of about 130 meV.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photonics with hexagonal boron nitride

TL;DR: Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a natural hyperbolic material in the mid-IR range, in which photonic material options are sparse as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum confined Stark effect due to built-in internal polarization fields in (Al,Ga)N/GaN quantum wells.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the origin of the electric field is predominently due to spontaneous polarization effects rather than a piezoelectric effect in the well material and conclude that the GaN layers are nearly unstrained, whereas the (AI,Ga)N barriers are pseudomorphically strained on GaN.
Journal ArticleDOI

ZnO as a material mostly adapted for the realization of room-temperature polariton lasers

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the direct optical measurement of the exciton oscillator strength f in ZnO and propose a model of the microcavity structure for the observation of the polariton laser effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Valence-band physics and the optical properties of GaN epilayers grown onto sapphire with wurtzite symmetry

TL;DR: This investigation leads to revision of the previous modelings based on quasicubic descriptions of the valence-band physics and gives a set of deformation potentials for the hexagonal GaN semiconductor.
