We propose to use optical antennas made out of natural hyperbolic material hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), and we demonstrate that this medium is a promising alternative to plasmonic and all-dielectric materials for realizing efficient…
Hexagonal boron nitride (BN), one of the very few layered insulators, plays a crucial role in 2D materials research. In particular, BN grown with a high pressure technique has proven to be an excellent substrate material for graphene and…
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and graphite are structurally similar but with very different properties. Their combination in graphene-based devices meets now a huge research focus, and it becomes particularly important to evaluate the role…
The detection and manipulation of the spin configurations in layered magnetic semiconductors hold significant interest for developing spintronic devices in two-dimensional limit. In this letter, we report a systematical study on the…
Near band-gap luminescence (hnu > 5 eV) of hexagonal boron nitride has been studied by means of the time- and energy-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy method. Two emissions have been observed at 5.5 eV and 5.3 eV. The high-energy…
Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) plays a central role in nanoelectronics and nanophotonics. Moreover, hBN hosts room-temperature quantum emitters and optically addressable spins, making it promising for quantum sensing and quantum photonics.…
Phonon polaritons (PhPs) in freestanding and supported multilayers (MuLs) of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) are systematically studied using a macroscopic optical-phonon model. The PhP properties such as confinement, group velocity,…
Photoluminescence is commonly used to identify the electronic structure of individual nanotubes. But, nanotubes naturally occur in bundles. Thus, we investigate photoluminescence of nanotube bundles. We show that their complex spectra are…
We perform photoluminescence measurements on vacancy-related emitters in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) that are notorious for their low quantum yields. The gating of these emitters via few-layer graphene electrodes reveals a reproducible,…

A new interpretation of the optical and energy-loss spectra of hexagonal boron nitride is provided based on first-principle calculations. We show that both spectra cannot be explained by independent-particle transitions but are strongly…
In the solid state, a large variety of single-photon emitters present high quality photophysical properties together with a potential for integration. However, in many cases, the host matrix induces fluctuations of the emission wavelength…
Raman spectra obtained by the inelastic scattering of light by crystalline solids contain contributions from first-order vibrational processes (e.g. the emission or absorption of one phonon, a quantum of vibration) as well as higher-order…
