Transport is featureless. Main noise features are :
1) Superlinear TN(E) ⟺ current saturation
2) Temperature plateaus in ZKT regime
3) Thershold at ZKT onset (arrows)
4) Linear TN(E) at neutrality (ZKT e-h creation )
5) Voltage threshold ⟺ activation energy 200 meV

5 merits of h-BN
1. High mobility
2. Large saturation currents (power amplification ?)
3. Pinchoff replaced by Zener-Klein tunneling
4. Compensation of ZK tunneling by a bias induced doping depletion
5. No thermal degradation => cooling by hyperbolic hBN phonons !!!
Graphene 2017, opto-electronics
Conclusions
1. HPP cooling promotes h-BN is the ideal heat sink
2. Zener-Klein Tunneling optimizes HPP emission
3. ZKT-FETs are promising high power transistors
