Wurtzite Boron Nitride ($w$BN) is a wide band gap BN polymorph with peculiar mechanical properties (hardness and stiffness). After its first synthesis in 1963 as a transformation of hexagonal BN ($h$BN) under high temperature and pressure…
Employing the density-functional theory with local density approximation, we show that the fully hydrogenated monolayer-hexagonal boron nitride (H$_2$BN) has a direct-band gap of 2.96 eV in the blue-light region while the pristine…
Atom-like defects in two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) have recently emerged as a promising platform for quantum information science. Here we investigate single-photon emissions from atomic defects in boron nitride…
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is unique among two-dimensional materials, with a large band gap (~6 eV) and high thermal conductivity (>400 W/m/K), second only to diamond among electrical insulators. Most electronic studies to date have…
We investigate the chirality dependence of physical properties of nanotubes which are wrapped by the planar hexagonal lattice including graphite and boron nitride sheet, and reveal its symmetry origin. The observables under consideration…
We study both experimentally and theoretically the fundamental interplay of exciton localization and polarization in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes. From Stark spectroscopy of individual carbon nanotubes at cryogenic…
We have performed microscopic calculations of the Rayleigh scattering cross section for arbitrary metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes. The focus of our investigations lies on excitonic effects and their influence on the characteristic…
With the example of hexagonal boron nitride, we demonstrate how the character of electron-hole (e-h) pairs in van der Waals bound low-dimensional systems is driven by layer stacking. Four types of excitons appear, with either a two- or…
Doping can profoundly affect the electronic- and optical-structure of semiconductors. Here we address the effect of surplus charges on non-radiative (NR) exciton and trion decay in doped semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes. The…
We demonstrate that the valence energy-loss function of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) displays a strong anisotropy in shape, excitation energy and dispersion for momentum transfer q parallel or perpendicular to the hBN layers. This is…
Determination of optical absorption cross-section is always among the central importance of understanding a material. However its realization on individual nanostructures, such as carbon nanotubes, is experimentally challenging due to the…
We report non-resonant x-ray Raman scattering (XRS) measurements from hexagonal boron nitride for transferred momentum from 2 to 9 $\mathrm{\AA}^{-1}$ along directions both in and out of the basal plane. A symmetry-based argument, together…
We demonstrate a possibility for exciton Bose-Einstein condensation in individual small-diameter (~1-2 nm) semiconducting carbon nanotubes. The effect occurs under the exciton-interband-plasmon coupling controlled by an external…
We calculate the binding energy, transition energies, oscillator strength, and absorption coefficient of indirect excitons in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) double layers separated by an integer number of hexagonal boron nitride…
Hyperbolic media enable unique optical phenomena including hyperlensing, negative refraction, enhanced photonic density of states (PDOS), and highly confined polaritons. While most hyperbolic media are artificially engineered metamaterials,…
The electronic structures of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) doped by organic molecules are investigated with density functional theory. Electrophilic molecule introduces acceptor states in the wide gap of BNNT close to the valence band…
Nanotubes align molecules into one dimensional chains creating collective states through the coupling of the molecular transition dipole moments. These collective excitations have strong fluorescence, narrow bandwidth, and shifted…
The anisotropic nature of the new two-dimensional (2D) material phosphorene, in contrast to other 2D materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) semiconductors, allows excitons to be confined in a…
The twisted hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) bilayer has demonstrated exceptional properties, particularly the existence of electronic flat bands without needing a magic angle, suggesting strong excitonic effects. Therefore, a systematic…
We investigate the electronic structure and the optical absorption onset of close-to-30\degree twisted hexagonal boron nitride bilayers. Our study is carried out with a purposely developed tight-binding model validated against DFT…
