The authors present local density functional theory (DFT-LDA) studies of the structural properties of boron nitride in the layered hexagonal (h-BN), zincblende (c-BN), and wurtzite (w-BN) structures, performed using a fast implementation of the norm-conserving pseudopotential plane-wave method. Quasiparticle band structures are then calculated for all phases by means of an efficient GW self-energy scheme. It is believed these are the first GW quasiparticle calculations for wurtzite BN including local-field and dynamical screening effects. DFT-LDA band gaps as functions of pressure and uniaxial distortion for h-BN are also discussed.
