Outline of Final Research Achievements

To cope with the water shortage problem and to downsize a variety of photo-excitation sources, there has been a strong demand to realize low-cost solid-state deep-ultraviolet (DUV) light emitters. Since hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) exhibits DUV lights at approximately 215-240 nm and is predicted to show strong excitonic effects in its optical spectra, h-BN is one of the promising semiconductors of DUV and UV light emitters. In this research project, radiative and nonradiative recombination dynamics of excitons of h-BN microcrystals (MCs) and epilayers in the DUV wavelength region were investigated by using our unique spatio-time-resolved cathodoluminescence (STRCL) equipment. The h-BN samples exhibited distinct DUV luminescence peaks although the spectral features indicated an indirect bandgap nature of h-BN. The result indicates a strong interaction between the indirect excitons and phonons due to the excitonic effect.
