Abstract

-BN/Eu/Ni(111) interface as derived from the matching of experimentally derived positions of B 1s and N 1s core-levels as well as valence bands dispersions to the theoretical results. These findings offer a framework for understanding the role of rare-earth intercalation in tuning the properties of 2D/metal interfaces and pave the way for future spintronic applications.
