Controlled radiation damage and edge structures in boron nitride membranes

We show that hexagonal boron nitride membranes synthesized by chemical exfoliation are more resistant to electron beam irradiation at 80 kV than is graphene, consistent with quantum chemical calculations describing the radiation damage processes. Monolayer hexagonal boron nitride does not form vacan...
