Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanostructures were grown on Ru(0001), and are very similar to those previously reported on Rh(111). They show a highly regular 12 x 12 superstructure, comprising 2 nm wide apertures with a depth of about 0.1 nm. Valence band photoemission reveals two distinctly bonded h-BN species, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicates an h-BN monolayer film. The functionality of the h-BN/Ru(0001) nanomesh is demonstrated by using this structure for the assembly of gold nanoclusters.
