Resonant Raman scattering in cubic and hexagonal boron nitride

We measured firstand second-order Raman scattering in cubic and hexagonal boron nitride using excitation energies in the visible and in the UV. The nonresonant first-order Raman susceptibilities for cubic and hexagonal BN are 1 and 10 Å2, respectively. Raman scattering is thus very powerful in detecting the hexagonal phase in mixed thin boron nitride films. In cubic BN the constant Raman sucsep...

Identifying hexagonal boron nitride monolayers by transmission electron microscopy.

Multislice simulations in the transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used to examine changes in annular-dark-field scanning TEM (ADF-STEM) images, conventional bright-field TEM (BF-CTEM) images, and selected-area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns as atomically thin hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) samples are tilted up to 500 mrad off of the [0001] zone axis. For monolayer h-BN the contra...
