研究目的
Determining the features of the electronic structure and possible mechanisms of emission of the impurity carbon-oxygen complex excited in 4.28 eV band in hexagonal boron nitride.
研究成果
The research confirms that carbon and oxygen impurities in h-BN form a (CN-ON)-complex responsible for UV luminescence with a zero-phonon line at 4.08 eV. Electron-phonon interactions involve LO phonons (174 meV) for intravalley scattering and TA phonons (60 meV) for intervalley scattering. The complex remains electroneutral during radiative recombination, and the findings provide insights into defect-related optical properties, suggesting applications in optoelectronics and quantum emitters.
研究不足
The study is limited to a specific h-BN micropowder with defined impurity levels and synthesis conditions; results may not generalize to other h-BN forms. The experimental setup and temperature range (83–296 K) constrain the observations, and the mechanisms proposed are based on indirect evidence from spectroscopy without direct atomic-scale imaging.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies to investigate electron-phonon interactions in h-BN micropowder with carbon and oxygen impurities at temperatures of 83 K and 296 K. The methods were chosen to analyze vibrational modes and luminescence properties.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A micropowder of hexagonal boron nitride synthesized under nitrogen deficiency conditions with high carbon (2.9 ± 0.3 at.%) and oxygen (0.6 ± 0.1 at.%) impurity content was used. The sample was characterized for morphology, phase, and chemical composition.

4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: PL emission spectra were recorded at 83 K and 296 K in the range of 295–550 nm under 4.28 eV excitation, with spectral slit widths of 2.5 nm. Time-gated measurements with 100 ns gates were used to isolate short-lived luminescence. Raman spectra were measured at the same temperatures using a 632.8 nm laser with 10 mW power. Spectra were corrected for instrumental functions.
5:28 eV excitation, with spectral slit widths of 5 nm. Time-gated measurements with 100 ns gates were used to isolate short-lived luminescence. Raman spectra were measured at the same temperatures using a 8 nm laser with 10 mW power. Spectra were corrected for instrumental functions. Data Analysis Methods:
5. Data Analysis Methods: Data analysis involved Gaussian fitting of PL spectra to extract peak positions and phonon energies, comparison with theoretical models, and calculation of Huang-Rhys parameters. Raman peak shifts were analyzed in terms of temperature effects and anharmonic interactions.
