Permittivity and its temperature dependence in hexagonal structure BN dominated by the local electric field

This paper presents an analysis of the local electric field in hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) by introducing a modified parameter. Based on the determination of the modified parameter of h-BN, the revised Lorenz equation is developed. Then the permittivity at high temperature and in the microwave frequency is investigated. In addition, this equation is derived for evaluating the temperature coefficient of the permittivity of h-BN. The analyses show that the permittivity increases with increasing temperature, which is mainly attributed to the positive temperature coefficient of the ionic polarizability.
