Van der Waals interaction in a boron nitride bilayer
We have carried out quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations to study the interlayer interaction in a boron nitride (BN) bilayer. The binding energy, 81 meV/2BN after finite-size corrections, was found to be larger than that obtained by density functional theory (DFT) with local density approximation,...
