    • Giant moiré patterns and lattice-matched epitaxial graphene grown 

      Summerfield, Alex; Davies, Andrew; Beton, Peter; Diez Albar, Juan; Thomas, James; Cheng, Tin s. (The University of Nottingham, 2018-01-01)
      Lattice-matched graphene on hexagonal boron nitride is expected to lead to the formation of a band-gap but requires the formation of highly strained material and has not hitherto been realised. We demonstrate that aligned, ...
    • Moiré-modulated conductance of hexagonal boron nitride tunnel barriers 

      Summerfield, Alex (The University of Nottingham, 2018-07-16)
      Monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) tunnel barriers investigated using conductive atomic force microscopy reveal moiré patterns in the spatial maps of their tunnel conductance consistent with the formation of a moiré ...
    • Strain-engineered graphene grown on hexagonal boron nitride by molecular beam epitaxy 

      Beton, Peter; Summerfield, Alex; Davies, Andrew (University of Nottingham, 2016-02-01)
      Graphene grown by high temperature molecular beam epitaxy on hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) forms continuous domains with dimensions of order 20 μm, and exhibits moiré patterns with large periodicities, up to ~30 nm, ...
