Intrinsic segregation provides a promising and scalable route for the in situ fabrication of 2D heterostructures. Using UHV chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of a single borazine (B3N3H6) precursor [1], we demonstrate the growth of an hBN/borophene heterostructure on Ir(111). At high temperatures and low precursor pressures, boron dissolves into the Ir subsurface region, creating a boron reservoir below the surface [2]. Largely increasing the precursor dosing pressure shifts the chemical potential toward the formation of a complete hBN layer. Upon cooldown, the decreasing boron solubility of the Ir substrate drives segregation to the surface, where a borophene layer forms underneath the hBN overlayer and thus completing the heterostructure. The resulting structure and its growth kinetics were investigated using a combined low energy electron diffraction (SPA-LEED) and microscopy (LEEM) approach.
