Scientists have made a significant breakthrough in understanding the growth of "white graphene" on metal substrates. This ...

Mono layer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) attracts significant attention due to the potential to be used as a complementary two-dimensional dielectric in fabrication of functional 2D heterostructures.

The most well-known 2D material, graphene, is a semimetallic material consisting of a single layer of carbon ... them in a passivating layer. This is where hBN comes in: layers of hBN are able ...

Understanding hBN epitaxial growth on Ru(0001) through DFT and microkinetic modeling highlights key mechanisms and the impact ...

which are not present in single-layer graphene or Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene. Moiré materials can also be formed by stacking different 2D materials, such as graphene and hexagonal boron nitride ...

The UV-C emission of hBN crystals is generated by accelerated electron excitation (Fig. 1) using a conventional electron field-emission array as the excitation source. Electrons of 2–8 keV ...

Here we investigate the growth stages of the hBN single crystals and show that hBN crystals change their shape from triangular to truncated triangular and further to hexagonal depending on copper ...
