Two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), with its honeycomb lattice structure similar to graphene, is attracting significant attention because of its exceptional properties and wide range of potential applications. However, direct growth of large-area and high-quality h-BN heterostructures on smooth substrates is still challenging.
In this study we report the synthesis of high-quality h-BN heterostructures with large-size and single-crystalline domains on mechanically polished cobalt (Co) foils by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The coverage of h-BN layers was controlled by adjusting the growth time, resulting in uniform, large-area, and high-quality stacked h-BN heterostructures.
The photoelectric sensitivity of the h-BN heterostructures was studied using continuous emission spectroscopy and fluorescence lifetime spectroscopy. The results show that the sensitivity of the h-BN heterostructures increases with temperature. A plot of the sensitivity against the cobalt long-wave limit shows that an abrupt change was observed in the sensitivity at a temperature around 850degC, which was confirmed by X-ray analysis to be associated with a structural change.
