Artistic rendering of a hole polaron in hexagonal boron nitride. The white and blue spheres represent boron and nitrogen atoms, respectively, the orange isosurface is the hole polaron in a single boron nitride layer that is being exfoliated. Hole polarons in single-layer boron nitride are localized wave packets extending over approximately 1 nm (1 nm = 1 billionth of a meter). Courtesy of F. Giustino.
