| Research Abstract |
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is an insulator which has a 2D-plane crystalline structure composed of nitrogen and boron atoms in sp2 bonding and which shows intense emission in the UV region. To realize the impurity doping for the control of electrical conduction, we studied the stability of both h-BN bulk crystals and atomic layers at high temperature up to 1300 degrees Celsius by employing a micro-Raman spectrograph system with a high temperature furnace. Single layer h-BN starts to oxidize at 700 degrees Celsius and can keep up at the temperature up to 850 degrees Celsius. Bilayer and trilayer BN nanosheets have slightly higher temperatures for oxidation, but the bulk crystals show the stable Raman spectra up to 1300 degrees Celsius.
