Unidirectional alignment and orientation pinning mechanism of h-BN nucleation on Ir(111) via reactive probe atomic force microscopy
Abstract The epitaxial growth of wafer-scale single-crystalline two-dimensional materials requires precise control over the crystallographic orientation and morphology of clusters formed during the initial stages of nucleation. However, there is limited knowledge about the critical nucleus and its g...
