Abstract:The successful synthesis of quasi-freestanding bilayer
borophene
has aroused much attention for its superior physical properties and
holds great promise for future electronic devices. Herein, we comprehensively
explore six boron sheets beyond the monolayer and structurally characterize
them via various methods using first-principles calculations for experimental
references. On the basis of atomic models of borophenes, simulated
scanning tunneling microscope (STM) images show different morphologies
at different… 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.
