- The boron nitride layers grown using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on sapphire (with and without a carbon crucible) and silicon carbide were provided by Prof Novikov who grew the layers with the assistance of Dr Cheng, a postdoc working under his supervision. The MBE system is a dual-chamber Veeco GENXplor specially modified to achieve growth temperatures of up to 1850°C. Prof Novikov is a PI of the EPSRC equipment grant to support the design and installation of this unique MBE facility at the University of Nottingham. Prof Novikov also contributed text to the initial and revised drafts of the paper.
