Direct-bandgap properties and evidence for ultraviolet lasing of hexagonal boron nitride single crystal.

TL;DR: HBN is shown to be a promising material for compact ultraviolet laser devices because it has a direct bandgap in the ultraviolet region and evidence for room-temperature ultraviolet lasing at 215 nm by accelerated electron excitation is provided.
