The electronic structures of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) doped by different organic molecules under a transverse electric field were investigated via first-principles calculations. The external field reduces the energy gap of BNNT, thus…
When using hexagonal boron-nitride (hBN) as a substrate for graphene, the resulting moir\'e pattern creates secondary Dirac points. By encapsulating a multilayer graphene within aligned hBN sheets the controlled moir\'e stacking may offer…
The isotopic mass of constituent elements of materials has a well-known effect on the energy of vibrational modes. By means of monochromated scanning transmission electron microscopy we have experimentally studied the phonon bandstructure…

Dislocations corresponding to a change of stacking in two-dimensional hexagonal bilayers, graphene and boron nitride, and associated with boundaries between commensurate domains are investigated using the two-chain Frenkel-Kontorova model…
Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a layered dielectric material with a wide range of applications in optics and photonics. In this work, we demonstrate a fabrication method for few-layer hBN flakes with areas up to 5000 $\rm \mu m$. We show…
Combining atomically-thin van der Waals materials into heterostructures provides a powerful path towards the creation of designer electronic devices. The interaction strength between neighboring layers, most easily controlled through their…
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a layered two-dimensional material with properties that make it promising as a dielectric in various applications. We report the growth of h-BN films on Ni foils from elemental B and N using molecular beam…

Today, 2D semiconductor materials have been extended into the nitrogen group: phosphorene, arsenene, antimonene and even nitrogene. Motivated by them, based upon first-principles density functional calculations, we propose a new…
Understanding the emergent electronic structure in twisted atomically thin layers has led to the exciting field of twistronics. However, practical applications of such systems are challenging since the specific angular correlations between…
The relative orientation (twist) of successive layers of stacked two-dimensional (2D) materials creates variations in the interlayer atomic registry. The variations often form a super lattice, called a moir\'e pattern, which can alter…
Twisted hexagonal boron nitride (thBN) exhibits emergent ferroelectricity due to the formation of moir\'e superlattices with alternating AB and BA domains. These domains possess electric dipoles, leading to a periodic electrostatic…

Boron nitride (BN) is an exceptional material and among its polymorphs, two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal and three-dimensional (3D) cubic BN (h-BN and c-BN) phases are most common. The phase stability regimes of these BN phases are still…
In this Letter, we derive an effective theory of graphene on a hexagonal Boron Nitride (h-BN) substrate. We show that the h-BN substrate generically opens a spectral gap in graphene despite the lattice mismatch. The origin of that gap is…
