In this paper, cathodoluminescence spectroscopy of boron nitride films grown on Si(100) substrates by ion-source-assisted magnetron sputtering of a hexagonal BN target is presented.Abstract:
We report results from cathodoluminescence spectroscopy of boron nitride films grown on Si(100) substrates by ion‐source‐assisted magnetron sputtering of a hexagonal BN target. Three main peaks are observed in the near‐band‐gap region for hexagonal boron nitride films at energies of 4.90, 5.31, and 5.50 eV. We also report deep‐level emission spectra of predominantly cubic boron nitride films which are correlated with sample growth conditions. In particular we show that the emission intensity, position, and linewidth are strongly dependent on the substrate bias voltage used during sample growth.read more

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.

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.
