Tunable n-Type Conductivity and Transport Properties of Cubic Boron Nitride via Carbon Doping

Abstract: The recent discovery of direct conversion of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) into quenched BN (Q-BN) and single-crystal cubic BN (c-BN) by pulsed laser annealing (PLA) have been implemented to fabricate carbon-doped c-BN with dopant concentration ranging from 2 × 10 19 to 7 × 10 21 cm −3 . Micro Raman analysis shows a total conversion of h-BN into phase-pure c-BN, whereas the X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirms the presence of the cubic structure with (111) epitaxy on c-sapphire. Hall measurements demonstrate the … Show more

“…We note that, for a given concentration of carbon dopants (number of carbon dopants per supercell), there are several ways to divide the carbon at nitrogen and boron sites. Since the experimental samples are n-doped, we only consider configurations with scriptN normalB scriptN normalN namely, C B (1.5% doping) (and C N for reference), 2 C B (3%), C B C N (3%), 2 C B 1 C N (4.7%), 2 C B 2 C N (6.25%), 3 C B 1 C N (6.25%), 3 C B 2 C N (7.8%), and 4 C B 1 C N (7.8%). Also, under N-rich conditions, the formation energies of C B and C N substituents were shown to be comparable, with a slight preference for the formation of the former defect than for the latter one .…”

“…The temperature dependent resistivity measurements by Haque et al . show two regimes in carbon-doped cBN: (i) a high temperature regime (≥35 K) with higher activation energies and resistivity decreasing with temperature and (ii) a low temperature regime (<35 K) where the resistivity increases with a decrease in temperature with a lower activation energy.…”

“…[3] The p-type c-BN has been generally achieved by doping with beryllium (Be), magnesium, zinc, and the n-type c-BN is obtained by doping with silicon (Si), sulfur, and carbon. [1,4] Importantly, the p-n junction diodes were successfully fabricated by DOI: 10.1002/adts.202100460 growing Si-doped c-BN films on Be-doped c-BN seed crystals. [5] Despite these progress, it is arduous to control growths of pure c-BN crystals and dope the material with the desirable carrier concentrations and mobilities.…”

“…Polymer nanocomposites with high thermal conductivity nanofillers have received increasing attention owing to their easy processing and low cost . Examples of such materials include composites with aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ), graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), and boron nitride (BN) nanofillers. However, the thermal conductivity of polymer composite materials can still be affected by factors such as the nanofiller loading, interface, geometry/aspect ratio, and dispersion state . In addition, the dispersion of the nanofillers in composite materials also affects the thermal conductivity because heat transfer usually occurs via the vibrational energy of atoms in solid materials.…”
