Description

• General description: For all hBN-on-copper products, the displayed range represents electronic data that were obtained after transfer hBN to SiO2. Your own metrics will depend entirely on the transfer methods that you use, and the resultant quality of your transfers.
• Application: Monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), also known as “white graphene”, is a wide-bandgap 2D crystal (~6 eV that can be tuned to ~2 eV) [1][2] with exceptional strength [3], large oxidation resistance at high temperatures [3], and optical functionalities.[2][3] Among its potential applications are:Two-dimensional electronics [1][2][3]Nanophotonic and other optoelectronic devices †††Quantum communication and information science [2]Aerospace industry [4]MEMS and NEMS [5]Micro-/nano- actuators [3]Insulating/transparent coatings [1]
• Preparation Note: Which side contains hBN? Both sides of the copper foil contain hBN. We primarily recommend that the customer only use the material on the top side (i.e. the side that has Kapton tape) because it is the only side that is guaranteed not to have been in physical contact with anything and therefore should not have any potential physical damage. However, the underside can be used if one is careful and doesn’t mind the damage potential.
• Storage and Stability: To ensure the maximum shelf life of your hBN sample, it is best stored under vacuum or in inert atmosphere (Argon or Nitrogen) conditions once the vacuum sealed package has been opened.
• Substrates: 3” x 3” h-BN/copper foil pieces are secured to their underlying plastic containers with four small Kapton tape pieces, one in each corner. Gently peel the tape or cut off the corners of the foil to release the foil from the plastic container.
