Selective Sputtering and Atomic Resolution Imaging of Atomically Thin Boron Nitride Membranes
Abstract
We report on the preparation, atomic resolution imaging, and element selective damage mechanism in atomically thin boron nitride membranes. Flakes of less than 10 layers are prepared by mechanical cleavage and are thinned down to single layers in a high-energy electron beam. At our beam energies, we observe a highly selective sputtering of only one of the elements and predominantly at the exit surface of the specimen, and then subsequent removal of atoms next to a defect. Triangle-shaped holes appear in accordance with the crystallographic orientation of each layer. Defects are compared to those observed in graphene membranes. The observation of clean single-layer membranes shows that hexagonal boron nitride is a further material (in addition to graphene) that can exist in a quasi-two-dimensional allotrope without the need for a substrate.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
