Monolayer h-BeO Formation By Oxidation of Be(0001)
Since the discovery of graphene in 2004, there has been intense and continuous research into the possibilities of creating other 2 dimensional (2D) materials. Since then, much progress has been made, resulting in many new metals, semiconductors, and insulators that can fill any number of roles from transistors to solar cells. In this thesis, I discuss hexagonal beryllium oxide (h-BeO) as a potenti
