The integrated inplane growth of two dimensional materials with similar lattices, but distinct electrical properties, could provide a promising route to achieve integrated circuitry of atomic thickness. However, fabrication of edge specific GNR in the lattice of hBN still remains an enormous challenge for present approaches. Here we developed a two step growth method and successfully achieved sub 5 nm wide zigzag and armchair GNRs embedded in hBN, respectively. Further transport measurements reveal that the sub 7 nm wide zigzag GNRs exhibit openings of the band gap inversely proportional to their width, while narrow armchair GNRs exhibit some fluctuation in the bandgap width relationship.This integrated lateral growth of edge specific GNRs in hBN brings semiconducting building blocks to atomically thin layer, and will provide a promising route to achieve intricate nanoscale electrical circuits on high quality insulating hBN substrates.

Chemically synthesized cove-type graphene nanoribbons (cGNRs) of different widths were brought into dispersion and drop-cast onto exfoliated hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) on a Si/SiO2 chip. With AFM we observed that the cGNRs form ordered domains ali
gned along the crystallographic axes of the hBN. Using electron beam lithography and metallization, we contacted the cGNRs with NiCr/Au, or Pd contacts and measured their I-V-characteristics. The transport through the ribbons was dominated by the Schottky behavior of the contacts between the metal and the ribbon.
We present a method to create and erase spatially resolved doping profiles in graphene-hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) heterostructures. The technique is based on photo-induced doping by a focused laser and does neither require masks nor photo resists.
This makes our technique interesting for rapid prototyping of unconventional electronic device schemes, where the spatial resolution of the rewritable, long-term stable doping profiles is only limited by the laser spot size (~600 nm) and the accuracy of sample positioning. Our optical doping method offers a way to implement and to test different, complex doping patterns in one and the very same graphene device, which is not achievable with conventional gating techniques.
We study fully hexagonal boron nitride (hBN)-encapsulated graphene spin valve devices at room temperature. The device consists of a graphene channel encapsulated between two crystalline hBN flakes; thick-hBN flake as a bottom gate dielectric substrat
e which masks the charge impurities from SiO2/Si substrate and single-layer thin-hBN flake as a tunnel barrier. Full encapsulation prevents the graphene from coming in contact with any polymer/chemical during the lithography and thus gives homogeneous charge and spin transport properties across different regions of the encapsulated graphene. Further, even with the multiple electrodes in between the injection and the detection electrodes which are in conductivity mismatch regime, we observe spin transport over 12.5 um long distance under the thin-hBN encapsulated graphene channel, demonstrating the clean interface and the pin-hole free nature of the thin-hBN as an efficient tunnel barrier.
Van der Waals heterostructures employing graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) crystals have emerged as a promising platform for plasmonics thanks to the tunability of their collective modes with carrier density and record values for plasmonics
figures of merit. In this Article we investigate theoretically the role of moire-pattern superlattices in nearly aligned graphene on hBN by using continuum-model Hamiltonians derived from ab initio calculations. We calculate the systems energy loss function for a variety of chemical potential values that are accessible in gated devices. Our calculations reveal that the electron-hole asymmetry of the moire bands leads to a remarkable asymmetry of the plasmon dispersion between positive and negative chemical potentials, showcasing the intricate band structure and rich absorption spectrum across the secondary Dirac point gap for the hole bands.
We report on the fabrication and characterization of etched graphene quantum dots (QDs) on hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and SiO2 with different island diameters. We perform a statistical analysis of Coulomb peak spacings over a wide energy range. Fo
r graphene QDs on hBN, the standard deviation of the normalized peak spacing distribution decreases with increasing QD diameter, whereas for QDs on SiO2 no diameter dependency is observed. In addition, QDs on hBN are more stable under the influence of perpendicular magnetic fields up to 9T. Both results indicate a substantially reduced substrate induced disorder potential in graphene QDs on hBN.
