Boron Nitride nanomesh for actuated self-assembly KU Leuven
The boron nitride nanomesh is a corrugated, one-atom-thick layer of boron nitride on rhodium metal and has the unique property of trapping individual molecules in its pores, about 3 nanometer apart. In a recent breakthrough, accepted for publication in Nature, we demonstrated that atomic hydrogen can be intercalated between the boron nitride layer and the metal substrate, and can be used to tune the binding strength of adsorbates on the ...
