Abstract: | The electric properties of nonintentionally doped n-cubic boron nitride (cBN) crystal are investigated. The cBN crystal was
transformed from hexagonal-boron nitride (h-BN) under high pressure (HP) and high temperature (HT) using magnesium powder
as catalyst. At room temperature, the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of cBN crystal are measured and found to be nonlinear.
When the electric field is in the range of (1−1.5) × 105 V/cm, the avalanche breakdown occurs inside the whole cBN crystal. At this same time, the bright blue-violet with the wavelength
of 380–400 nm from the cBN crystal is observed. When measuring the I–V curve after breakdown of cBN crystal, the current-controlled
differential negative resistance phenomenon is observed. The breakdown is repeatable.
