BIRD project’s goals are to:
- Reveal the underlying mechanism of insulator to conductor transition in 2D layered h-BN after deep UV illumination. The exact reason for giant PPC in h-BN is indeed still unknown hindering the development of the photoinduced doping effect. As such, identification of the defects responsible for PPC will be a fundamental input to favor their formation during metal organic chemical vapor deposition growth.
- Optimize the giant PPC effect and effectively use it as a novel doping method. Understanding the physics behind the giant PPC effect in h-BN is a first requirement for that.
- Demonstrate its proper usage we aim toward the realization of h-BN homojunctions using the photoinduced doping process to produce conductive h-BN layers. Integrating BAlN/BN quantum wells wo
