First, I will focus on hBN crystals where the combination of isotopic purification, Raman scattering and polarized-resolved photoluminescence allowed us to identify the different phonon modes involved in the efficient phonon-assisted recombination in bulk hBN. In a second part, I will discuss photoluminescence experiments in epilayers grown by high-temperature molecular beam epitaxy. These epilayers have a thickness of few monolayers of hBN, and I will show that phonon-assisted recombination displays a distinct phenomenology with a PL spectrum different from the one of bulk crystals. %G English %2 https://hal.science/cel-02289713/document %2 https://hal.science/cel-02289713/file/Cassabois_Tutorial_StPet.pdf %L cel-02289713 %U https://hal.science/cel-02289713 %~ CNRS %~ L2C %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM-2015-2021
