Abstract
The temperature dependence of the photoluminescence (PL) intensity of 3.90 eV in microcrystalline hexagonal boron nitride is studied in the range of 7–1100 K. The results obtained have been analyzed within the band model of energy levels of donor-acceptor pairs based on impurity (O N C N ) complexes. Luminescence enhancement processes at T < 200 K and two independent channels of external thermal activation quenching are typical of the observable luminescence mechanisms under band-to-band (5.90 eV) and subband (4.28 eV) excitations of the samples. It has been shown that, at T > 220 K, when directly excited, the samples diminish the PL intensity because of the processes of thermal ionization of the donor level of the O N -center (122 meV) and the deep acceptor level of the C N -center (1420 meV) as parts of the (O N C N )-complex. In this case, the temperature enhancement region with an activation energy of 15 meV is due to the decay of a bound Wannier-Mott exciton followed by transfer of excitation to the associated donor-acceptor pair. With band-to-band excitation at T > 220 K, the temperature peculiarities of the PL under study are determined by non-radiative relaxation processes with activation energies of 57 and 252 meV, which are caused by shallow donor levels of V N - and O N -centers, respectively. • Regularities of 3.9 eV emission in h-BN within 7–1100 K range have been studied. • PL enhancement and quenching under 5.9 and 4.28 eV excitation have been analyzed. • Energy levels model of (O N C N ) donor-acceptor pairs has been clarified. • Formation of (O N C N )-bound excitons under subband excitation has been supposed.
