Within the family of 2D materials thin flakes of black Phosphorus (bP) play a special role due to their tuneable direct bandgap and high carrier mobilities. Under ambient conditions, however, degradation changes the electronic properties of bP dramatically within hours [1]. Hence, applying protection measures is essential. We compare different protecting layers by measuring the local conductivity of bP flakes over time with scanning microwave impedance microscopy (sMIM). This novel AFM-based technique [2] probes the local sheet resistance with high spatial resolution and even for buried layers. For a bare bP flake we observe drastic changes in conductivity within 24 h. Coverage with 10 nm of HfOx delays degradation. The bP flake is stable for more than a week. Boron Nitride flakes appear to be less effective as a protection. sMIM reveals that here degradation starts at the edges and evolves over days, indicating a diffusive process.
