A recent article in Small presents a detailed investigation into the mechanisms behind the epitaxial growth of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) on Ru(0001). Using a combination of density functional ...

A breakthrough in decoding the growth process of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), a 2D material, and its nanostructures on metal substrates could pave the way for more efficient electronics, cleaner ...

Published in Nature Materials, the findings challenge previous assumptions about stacking constraints in hBN, demonstrating that step-edge guided growth and charge incorporation are essential in ...
