Since the discovery of graphene in 2004, various 2D materials with diverse chemical compositions and interconnected physical properties have gained a lot of interest as prospective candidates for ...

Boron Nitride (BN) exhibits multiple polymorphic forms, with hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and cubic boron nitride (c-BN) being the most significant. h-BN is known for its graphite-like layered ...

Scientists have reported that stacking of ultrathin sheets of hBN in a particular way creates a conducting boundary with zero bandgap. In the field of 2D electronics, the norm used to be that graphene ...

Materials consisting of a few atomic layers display properties determined by quantum physics. In a stack of such layers, vibrations of the atoms can be triggered by infrared light. New experimental ...

A research team led by Prof. YANG Liangbao from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences found that hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) could effectively block electron tunneling ...
