Investigation of the adsorption properties of borazine and characterisation of boron nitride on Rh(1Â 1Â 1) by electron spectroscopic methods

- We provided fingerprint data by Auger electron spectroscopy that makes it possible to differentiate between adsorbed borazine multilayer and h-BN overlayer.
- The strong characteristic surface phonon losses in HREELS indicate the production of well defined boron nitride nanomesh on Rh(1 1 1).
- Methoxy species were stable even above room temperature on BN covered Rh(1 1 1) and desorbed from the surface after recombination reactions with hydrogen.
