Synthesis of large single-crystal hexagonal boron nitride grains on Cu-Ni alloy
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has attracted significant attention because of its superior properties as well as its potential as an ideal dielectric layer for graphene-based devices. The h-BN films obtained via chemical vapour deposition in earlier reports are always polycrystalline with small g...[ Learn more ]

Silane-catalysed fast growth of large single-crystalline graphene on hexagonal boron nitride
The direct growth of high-quality, large single-crystalline domains of graphene on a dielectric substrate is of vital importance for applications in electronics and optoelectronics. Traditionally, graphene domains grown on dielectrics are typically only B1 mm with a growth rate of B1 nm min 1 or...[ Learn more ]

Plasmons in graphene moire superlattices.
Moiré patterns are periodic superlattice structures that appear when two crystals with a minor lattice mismatch are superimposed. A prominent recent example is that of monolayer graphene placed on a crystal of hexagonal boron nitride. As a result of the moiré pattern superlattice created by thi...[ Learn more ]
