Direct chemical conversion of graphene to boron- and nitrogen- and carbon-containing atomic layers.
Graphene and hexagonal boron nitride are typical conductor and insulator, respectively, while their hybrids hexagonal boron carbonitride are promising as a semiconductor. Here we demonstrate a direct chemical conversion reaction, which systematically converts the hexagonal carbon lattice of graphene to boron nitride, making it possible to produce uniform boron nitride and boron carbonitride str...
متن کاملFermi surfaces of single layer dielectrics on transition metals
Single sheets of hexagonal boron nitride on transition metals provide a model system for single layer dielectrics. The progress in the understanding of h-BN layers on transition metals of the last 10 years are shortly reviewed. Particular emphasis lies on the boron nitride nanomesh on Rh(111), which is a corrugated single sheet of h-BN, where the corrugation imposes strong lateral electric fiel...

متن کاملAtomically thin quantum light-emitting diodes
Transition metal dichalcogenides are optically active, layered materials promising for fast optoelectronics and on-chip photonics. We demonstrate electrically driven single-photon emission from localized sites in tungsten diselenide and tungsten disulphide. To achieve this, we fabricate a light-emitting diode structure comprising single-layer graphene, thin hexagonal boron nitride and transitio...
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...
