How to model hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) monolayer using VESTA? [TUTORIAL]

Описание: Welcome to this detailed tutorial on how to build and create an hBN (hexagonal Boron Nitride) monolayer structure using VESTA.
Whether you are new to VESTA or looking to enhance your understanding of material modeling, this step-by-step guide will take you through everything you need to know.

In this video, you will learn:

👉How to obtain starting structure files from materials project database

👉Techniques to adjust visualization settings for a clear and accurate representation.

👉Steps to create supercells and tailor the dimensions of your structure.

👉How to add vacuum?

We use a real-world example of an hBN monolayer to demonstrate these steps. By the end of this video, you will have a clear understanding of how to utilize VESTA for your materials science projects.
