Oriented graphene nanoribbons embedded in hexagonal boron nitride trenches
Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are ultra-narrow strips of graphene that have the potential to be used in high-performance graphene-based semiconductor electronics. However, controlled growth of GNRs on dielectric substrates remains a challenge. Here, we report the successful growth of GNRs directly on hexagonal boron nitride substrates with smooth edges and controllable widths using chemical vapou...
متن کاملTOPICAL REVIEW Graphene on Hexagonal Boron Nitride
The field of graphene research has developed rapidly since its first isolation by mechanical exfoliation in 2004. Due to the relativistic Dirac nature of its charge carriers, graphene is both a promising material for next-generation electronic devices and a convenient low-energy testbed for intrinsically high-energy physical phenomena. Both of these research branches require the facile fabricat...
متن کاملOrigin of band gaps in graphene on hexagonal boron nitride
Recent progress in preparing well-controlled two-dimensional van der Waals heterojunctions has opened up a new frontier in materials physics. Here we address the intriguing energy gaps that are sometimes observed when a graphene sheet is placed on a hexagonal boron nitride substrate, demonstrating that they are produced by an interesting interplay between structural and electronic properties, i...
متن کاملQuantum Dots and Nanoroads of Graphene Embedded in Hexagonal Boron Nitride
T materials have drawn tremendous attention in the recent past in terms of both interesting fundamental physics and possible applications in future generation devices. Graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) are the two most promising candidates for this purpose. 3 Single layers of graphene and h-BN have been fabricated and found to be stable at room temperature. 8 The most significant diff...
متن کاملVertical transport in graphene-hexagonal boron nitride heterostructure devices
Research in graphene-based electronics is recently focusing on devices based on vertical heterostructures of two-dimensional materials. Here we use density functional theory and multiscale simulations to investigate the tunneling properties of single- and double-barrier structures with graphene and few-layer hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) or hexagonal boron carbon nitride (h-BC2N). We find that...
