Epitaxial Growth of III–Nitride/Graphene Heterostructures for Electronic Devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
Epitaxial GaN films were grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on functionalized epitaxial graphene (EG) using a thin ( 11 nm) conformal AlN nucleation layer. Raman measurements show a graphene 2D peak at 2719 cm 1 after GaN growth. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals [0001]-oriented hexagonal GaN with (0002) peak rocking curve full width at the half maximum (FWHM) of 544 arcsec. The FWHM values are similar to reported values for GaN grown by MOCVD on sapphire. The GaN layer has a strong room-temperature photoluminescence band edge emission. Successful demonstration of GaN growth on EG opens up the possibility of III–nitride/graphene heterostructure-based electronic devices and promises improved performance. # 2013 The Japan Society of Applied Physics

متن کاملTunable band gaps in bilayer graphene-BN heterostructures.
We investigate band gap tuning of bilayer graphene between hexagonal boron nitride sheets, by external electric fields. Using density functional theory, we show that the gap is continuously tunable from 0 to 0.2 eV and is robust to stacking disorder. Moreover, boron nitride sheets do not alter the fundamental response from that of free-standing bilayer graphene, apart from additional screening....
متن کاملEpitaxial growth of single-domain graphene on hexagonal boron nitride.
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has recently emerged as an excellent substrate for graphene nanodevices, owing to its atomically flat surface and its potential to engineer graphene's electronic structure. Thus far, graphene/h-BN heterostructures have been obtained only through a transfer process, which introduces structural uncertainties due to the random stacking between graphene and h-BN subst...
متن کاملTemperature-triggered chemical switching growth of in-plane and vertically stacked graphene-boron nitride heterostructures
In-plane and vertically stacked heterostructures of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN-G and G/h-BN, respectively) are both recent focuses of graphene research. However, targeted synthesis of either heterostructure remains a challenge. Here, via chemical vapour deposition and using benzoic acid precursor, we have achieved the selective growth of h-BN-G and G/h-BN through a temperature-t...

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...
