Abstract
The nucleation and growth of well-defined nanopores are presented under electron irradiation in h-BN bilayers with various stacking angles. The pores are initiated by the formation of boron vacancies in each basal layer, and then evolve into either triangular or hexagonal pores, which is dependent on the relative rotation between BN layers. The result may shed light on the rational design and fabrication of nanopores.
