TLDR
A p-n junction diode of cubic boron nitride was made by growing an n-type crystal epitaxially on a p-type seed crystal at a pressure of 55 kilobars and a temperature of about 1700�C using a temperature-difference solvent method.
Abstract
A p-n junction diode of cubic boron nitride was made by growing an n-type crystal epitaxially on a p-type seed crystal at a pressure of 55 kilobars and a temperature of about 1700°C. A temperature-difference solvent method was used for the crystal growth, and beryllium and silicon were doped as acceptors and donors, respectively. Formation of the p-n junction was clearly confirmed at 1 bar by rectification characteristics and by existence of a space charge layer of the junction as observed by electron beam induced current measurement. This diode operated at 530°C.

III-V nitrides for electronic and optoelectronic applications

TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent developments in III-V nitride thin-film materials for electronic and optoelectronic applications is presented. But, the lack of a suitable substrate, with the possible exception of SiC for AlN, is a problem of considerable magnitude and is compounded by the presence of shallow donor bands in GaN and InN which are apparently caused by N vacancies.

Lattice Infrared Spectra of Boron Nitride and Boron Monophosphide

TL;DR: In this paper, the infrared reflection spectrum of cubic boron nitride from 80 to 550 GHz was obtained with a beam condenser. Butler et al. showed that the absorption peaks were observed between 600 and 3000 GHz and assigned as combinations of four Brillouin-zone boundary modes: LO 1232, TO 1000, LA 685, TA 348 and TA 348.
