Oxides, borides and carbides of the transition elements are materials of great interest from a
technologic point of view. Many of these materials are used in the form of thin films, so …

Large hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) single-layer islands of high crystalline quality were
grown on Ir (111) via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and have been studied with low …

The binary boron-rich compounds α-Ir2B3− x and β-Ir2B3− x, formerly denoted as α-and β-
Ir4B5, were synthesized via both arc melting followed by annealing at 800° C (900° C) and …

Ternary lithium nickel borides LiNi3B1. 8 and Li2. 8Ni16B8 have been synthesized by using
reactive LiH as a precursor. This synthetic route allows better mixing of the precursor …

Abstract 2D materials have attracted considerable attention in the past decades for their
unique properties, making the understanding of their nucleation process key to effective …

A variety of the ternary Hf–Ir–B phases formed via the reaction between iridium and hafnium
diboride at elevated temperatures was found. The data on the phase and elemental …

Phase relations in the ternary system Cu–Ir–B have been experimentally established for the
isothermal section at 600 ºC via electron microprobe and X-ray powder diffraction analyses …

Hf2B2–2δIr5+ δ crystallizes with a new type of structure: space group Pbam, a= 5.6300 (3)
Å, b= 11.2599 (5) Å, and c= 3.8328 (2) Å. Nearly 5% of the boron pairs are randomly …

Ternary borides of iridium and hafnium were prepared by a facile method by reacting iridium
with hafnium diboride in the presence of metallic antimony at 1500° С. The product is …

Integration of individual two-dimensional materials into heterostructures is a crucial step
which enables development of new and technologically interesting functional systems of …
