Materials synthesis

Two-dimensional gallium nitride

Nature Materials volume 15, pages 1153–1154 (2016)Cite this article

Subjects

Graphene is used as a capping sheet to synthesize 2D gallium nitride by means of migration-enhanced encapsulation growth. This technique may allow the stabilization of 2D materials that are not amenable to synthesis by traditional methods.
