Phonon engineering of boron nitride via isotopic enrichment
Abstract
Phonon polaritons (PhPs) enable a variety of applications, yet it requires PhPs supported in the desired frequency range. The two BN allotropes (cubic and hexagonal, cBN and hBN) are of particular interest, as their optic phonons fall within the so-called molecular-fingerprint region (~ 1000–1610 cm-1). However, there remains a spectral gap between PhPs covered by these two, limiting applications. Thus, we isotopically engineered hBN and cBN and examined the optic phonons. Furthermore, for hBN, enhancement of the optic phonon lifetimes and shifted frequencies are observed. However, lifetimes are observed to decrease with the enrichment of cBN by 10B, 11B, and 15N. We propose that the reduced lifetimes are not due to intrinsic loss, but rather increased defect concentrations resulting from the modified growth, supported by first-principles calculations. Thus, reducing the extrinsic defects in isotopically engineered cBN may present a path toward overcoming these restrictions for applications in the molecular-fingerprint region.
