Investigation on the structural property of the sputtered hcp-phase boron nitride tunnel barrier for spintronic applications

Recently, two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted considerable interest for use in spintronic applications, especially hexagonal close-packed (hcp)-phase boron nitride (BN) as a tunnel barrier. In this paper, we experimentally investigated the structural properties of a sputtered hcp-BN thin f...
