Graphene on hexagonal boron nitride as a tunable hyperbolic metamaterial

…, Z Fei, MD Goldflam, M Wagner, K Watanabe… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a natural hyperbolic material 1 , in which the dielectric
constants are the same in the basal plane (ε t ≡ ε x = ε y ) but have opposite signs (ε t ε z < 0) in …

Synthesis of high-purity boron nitride single crystals under high pressure by using Ba–BN solvent

T Taniguchi, K Watanabe - Journal of crystal growth, 2007 - Elsevier
High-purity cubic boron nitride (cBN) and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) single crystals were
synthesised at 4.5GPa and 1500C using barium boron nitride as a solvent. Secondary ion …
