High pressure Raman experiments on Boron Nitride multi-walled nanotubes show that the intensity of the vibrational mode at ~ 1367 cm-1 vanishes at ~ 12 GPa and it does not recover under decompression. In comparison, the high pressure Raman experiments on hexagonal Boron Nitride show a clear signature of a phase transition from hexagonal to wurtzite at ~ 13 GPa which is reversible on decompression. These results are contrasted with the pressure behavior of carbon nanotubes and graphite.

Two-dimensional materials are characterised by a number of unique physical properties which can potentially make them useful to a wide diversity of applications. In particular, the large thermal conductivity of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride ha
s already been acknowledged and these materials have been suggested as novel core materials for thermal management in electronics. However, it was not clear if mass produced flakes of hexagonal boron nitride would allow one to achieve an industrially-relevant value of thermal conductivity. Here we demonstrate that laminates of hexagonal boron nitride exhibit thermal conductivity of up to 20 W/mK, which is significantly larger than that currently used in thermal management. We also show that the thermal conductivity of laminates increases with the increasing volumetric mass density, which creates a way of fine-tuning its thermal properties.
A gear effect is demonstrated at parallel and cross junctions between boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) via atomistic simulations. The atoms of neighboring BNNTs are meshed together at the junctions like gear teeth through long-range non-covalent inter
action, which are shown to be able to transmit motion and power. The sliding motion of a BNNT can be spontaneously translated to rotating motion of an adjoining one or viceversa at a well-defined speed ratio. The transmittable motion and force strongly depend on the helical lattice structure of BNNTs represented by a chiral angle. The motion transmission efficiency of the parallel junctions increases up to a maximum for certain BNNTs depending on displacement rates. It then decreases with increasing chiral angles. For cross junctions, the angular motion transmission ratio increases with decreasing chiral angles of the driven BNNTs, while the translational one exhibits the opposite trend.
Atomically thin van der Waals crystals have recently enabled new scientific and technological breakthroughs across a variety of disciplines in materials science, nanophotonics and physics. However, non-classical photon emission from these materials h
as not been achieved to date. Here we report room temperature quantum emission from hexagonal boron nitride nanoflakes. The single photon emitter exhibits a combination of superb quantum optical properties at room temperature that include the highest brightness reported in the visible part of the spectrum, narrow line width, absolute photo-stability, a short excited state lifetime and a high quantum efficiency. Density functional theory modeling suggests that the emitter is the antisite nitrogen vacancy defect that is present in single and multi-layer hexagonal boron nitride. Our results constitute the unprecedented potential of van der Waals crystals for nanophotonics, optoelectronics and quantum information processing.
The relative orientation of successive sheets, i.e. the stacking sequence, in layered two-dimensional materials is central to the electronic, thermal, and mechanical properties of the material. Often different stacking sequences have comparable cohes
ive energy, leading to alternative stable crystal structures. Here we theoretically and experimentally explore different stacking sequences in the van der Waals bonded material hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). We examine the total energy, electronic bandgap, and dielectric response tensor for five distinct high symmetry stacking sequences for both bulk and bilayer forms of h-BN. Two sequences, the generally assumed AA sequence and the relatively unknown (for h-BN) AB (Bernal) sequence, are predicted to have comparably low energy. We present a scalable modified chemical vapor deposition method that produces large flakes of virtually pure AB stacked h-BN; this new material complements the generally available AA stacked h-BN.
The non-linear response of dielectrics to intense, ultrashort electric fields has been a sustained topic of interest for decades with one of its most important applications being femtosecond laser micro/nano-machining. More recently, renewed interest
s in strong field physics of solids were raised with the advent of mid-infrared femtosecond laser pulses, such as high-order harmonic generation, optical-field-induced currents, etc. All these processes are underpinned by photoionization (PI), namely the electron transfer from the valence to the conduction bands, on a time scale too short for phononic motion to be of relevance. Here, in hexagonal boron nitride, we reveal that the bandgap can be finely manipulated by femtosecond laser pulses as a function of field polarization direction with respect to the lattice, in addition to the fields intensity. It is the modification of bandgap that enables the ultrafast PI processes to take place in dielectrics. We further demonstrate the validity of the Keldysh theory in describing PI in dielectrics in the few TW/cm2 regime.
