Abstract

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.
