Schottky barriers at hexagonal boron nitride/metal interfaces: A first-principles study
The formation of a Schottky barrier at the interface between a metal and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is studied using density functional theory. For metals whose work functions range from 4.2 to 6.0 eV, we find Schottky barrier heights for holes between 1.2 and 2.3 eV. A central role in …
