Brugger, T; Ma, H; Iannuzzi, M; Berner, S; Winkler, A; Hutter, J; Osterwalder, J; Greber, T (2010). Nanotexture switching of single-layer hexagonal boron nitride on rhodium by intercalation of hydrogen atoms. Angewandte Chemie Internationale Edition, 49(35):6120-6124.
Playing nano-tectonics: The interaction of atomic hydrogen with a single layer of hexagonal boron nitride on rhodium leads to the removal of the h-BN surface corrugation (see picture; blue region: corrugated, orange region: flat). This change of surface texture arises from the intercalation of hydrogen atoms between the h-BN skin and the metal, and can be restored by annealing to about 600 K to expel the hydrogen atoms.
