Wafer Scale Hexagonal Boron Nitride Films Have Been Created | NextBigFuture.com

Dongguk University and other Korean researchers have made wafer scale hexagonal boron nitride films with a nearly perfect single-crystalline structure. The film self-assembles on top of liquid gold. Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is also called white graphite. They can be single atom thick crystalline films. They have an insulating effect that has found uses in various types of scientific research. It can be a protective layer against metal oxidation (rust) and as a gas-diffusion barrier for water vapor transmission. Layers of graphene can be created on top of the Hexagonal boron nitride.
