Commensurate–incommensurate transition in graphene on hexagonal boron nitride
When a crystal is subjected to a periodic potential, under certain circumstances it can adjust itself to follow the periodicity of the potential, resulting in a commensurate state. Of particular interest are topological defects between the two commensurate phases, such as solitons and domain walls. Here we report a commensurate–incommensurate transition for graphene on top of hexagonal boron ni...
متن کاملMetal-insulator transition in graphene on boron nitride.
Electrons in graphene aligned with hexagonal boron nitride are modeled by Dirac fermions in a correlated random-mass landscape subject to a scalar- and vector-potential disorder. We find that the system is insulating in the commensurate phase since the average mass deviates from zero. At the transition the mean mass is vanishing and electronic conduction in a finite sample can be described by a...
متن کاملDirect growth of large-area graphene and boron nitride heterostructures by a co-segregation method.
Graphene/hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) vertical heterostructures have recently revealed unusual physical properties and new phenomena, such as commensurate-incommensurate transition and fractional quantum hall states featured with Hofstadter's butterfly. Graphene-based devices on h-BN substrate also exhibit high performance owing to the atomically flat surface of h-BN and its lack of charged i...
متن کاملA charge-density-wave oscillator based on an integrated tantalum disulfide-boron nitride-graphene device operating at room temperature.
The charge-density-wave (CDW) phase is a macroscopic quantum state consisting of a periodic modulation of the electronic charge density accompanied by a periodic distortion of the atomic lattice in quasi-1D or layered 2D metallic crystals. Several layered transition metal dichalcogenides, including 1T-TaSe2, 1T-TaS2 and 1T-TiSe2 exhibit unusually high transition temperatures to different CDW sy...
متن کاملVan derWaals-coupled electronic states in incommensurate double-walled carbon nanotubes
Non-commensurate two-dimensional materials such as a twisted graphene bilayer or graphene on boron nitride, consisting of components that have no finite common unit cell, exhibit emerging moiré physics such as novel Van Hove singularities1–3, Fermi velocity renormalization4,5, mini Dirac points6 and Hofstadter butterflies7–11. Here we use double-walled carbonnanotubes as amodel system for probi...
