Screening Effect of Hexagonal Boron Nitride on Half Fluorinated Graphene

POSTER

Abstract

Based on first principle calculations, we present the screening effects of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) on the creation of a preference site for fluorine adsorption limited to one graphene sublattice. Furthermore, spin-polarized calculations indicate the overall magnetization of the system is anti-ferromagnetic. We also propose a possible spintronics application of half-fluorinated h-BN heterostructures.
