Probing the Atomic Structures of Synthetic Monolayer and Bilayer Hexagonal Boron Nitride Using Electron Microscopy

Abstract: Monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a phenomenal two-dimensional material; most of its physical properties rival those of graphene because of their structural similarities. This intriguing material has thus spurred scientists and researchers to develop novel synthetic methods to attain scalability for enabling its practical utilization. When probing the growth behaviors and structural characteristics of h-BN, the use of appropriate characterization techniques is important. In this review, we detail the… Show more

“…After the rise of graphene [4], researchers are now looking for other two-dimensional materials similar to graphene. Among those, hexagonal boron nitride and silicene having the same honeycomb structure [5,6] have allured the interest due to their remarkable mechanical and thermal properties [7,8]. Due to their excellent properties, these materials are used in nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS) and electronic application as electrode, thermoplast and insulator [9][10][11].…”
