| Résumé: | © 2020 Wiley-VCH GmbH. The polymorphism of borophene makes it a promising system to realize tunable physical or chemical properties. Various pure borophene phases consisting of quasi-1D boron chains with different widths have been commonly obtained in experimental studies. Here, it is shown that, due to a substrate mediation effect, artificial long-range ordered phases of borophene consisting of different combinations of boron chains seamlessly joined together can be achieved on Ag(100). Scanning tunneling microscopy measurements and theoretical calculations reveal that mixed-chain phases are more stable than the pure phase, and interact only weakly with the substrate. The mixed-chain phases with various proportions of different chains can be well separated based on the crystal direction of the substrate. The successful growth of mixed-chain phases is expected to deepen the impact of substrate tailored synthesis of borophene |
