Bulk Ti2O3 exhibits a metal-insulator transition (MIT) at 450 K, whereas epitaxial strain reduces the transition temperature of Ti2O3 films on Al2O3(0001) substrates below room temperature. Previously, we reported strain relaxation using hBN transferred on SiO2. In this study, we synthesized Ti2O3 films on hBN transferred on Al2O3(0001) substrates and successfully achieved bulk-like lattice constants and MIT temperatures.
