Hexagonal boron-nitride nanomesh magnets

TOPICAL REVIEW Graphene on Hexagonal Boron Nitride

The field of graphene research has developed rapidly since its first isolation by mechanical exfoliation in 2004. Due to the relativistic Dirac nature of its charge carriers, graphene is both a promising material for next-generation electronic devices and a convenient low-energy testbed for intrinsically high-energy physical phenomena. Both of these research branches require the facile fabricat...

Hexagonal boron nitride on transition metal surfaces

We validate a computational setup based on density functional theory to investigate hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) monolayers grown on different transition metals exposing hexagonal surfaces. An extended assessment of our approach for the characterization of the geometrical and electronic structure of such systems is performed. Due to the lattice mismatch with the substrate, the monolayers can ...

Boron Nitride Nanotubes for Spintronics

With the end of Moore's law in sight, researchers are in search of an alternative approach to manipulate information. Spintronics or spin-based electronics, which uses the spin state of electrons to store, process and communicate information, offers exciting opportunities to sustain the current growth in the information industry. For example, the discovery of the giant magneto resistance (GMR) ...
