Stacking in Bulk and Bilayer Hexagonal Boron Nitride

Open access
Constantinescu, Gabriel, Kuc, Agnieszka, Heine, Thomas·2013·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

The stacking orders in layered hexagonal boron nitride bulk and bilayers are studied using high-level ab initio theory [local second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (LMP2)]. Our results show that both electrostatic and London dispersion interactions are responsible for interlayer distance and stacking order, with AA' being the most stable one. The minimum energy sliding path includes only the AA' high-symmetry stacking, and the energy barrier is 3.4 meV per atom for the bilayer. State-of-the-art density functionals with and without London dispersion correction fail to correctly describe the interlayer energies with the exception of a Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof functional intended for solid state and surface systems that agrees very well with our LMP2 results and experiment.

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.
