Abstract
Full-potential self-consistent linearized augmented-plane-wave calculations for hexagonal boron nitride show the existence of unoccupied interlayer states similar to those found in pure and intercalated graphite. Furthermore, in contradiction to the currently accepted picture, the resulting energy-band structure indicates that hexagonal BN is an indirect-gap insulator.
