Probing the Synthesis of Two‐Dimensional Boron by First‐Principles Computations

Boron synthesis, in theory: Although two-dimensional boron sheets have attracted considerable interest because of their theoretically predicted properties, synthesis of such sheets remains a challenge. The feasibility of different synthetic methods for two-dimensional boron sheets (see picture; red) was assessed using first-principles calculations, possibly paving the way towards its application in nanoelectronics.
