Abstract:Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is considered to be one of the most promising approaches for the controlled mass production of h-BN thin films, which is a prerequisite for practical applications. However, the nucleation and growth mechanisms of h-BN crystals remain unclear. In this study, we examine h-BN growth on a Au(111) substrate to gain insights into the nucleation process of h-BN during CVD. We systematically investigate the structural nucleation behavior of h-BN … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
