Growth of Polar Hexagonal Boron Nitride Monolayer on Nonpolar Copper with Unique Orientation. Issue 27 (30th May 2016) - Li, Jidong
Abstract : Suppressing the oppositely orientated hexagonal boron nitride (h‐BN) domains during the growth is of great challenge due to its bipolar structure. It is found that h‐BN domains grown on onefold symmetric Cu(102) or (103) share a unique orientation, with one zigzag edge of the h‐BN triangles perpendicular to the symmetry axis of the substrate surface.
