Lattice-Matched Epitaxial Graphene Grown on Boron Nitride (2017)
Journal Article
Davies, A., Albar, J., Summerfield, A., Thomas, J. C., Cheng, T. S., Korolkov, V. V., …Beton, P. H. (2018). Lattice-Matched Epitaxial Graphene Grown on Boron Nitride. Nano Letters, 18(1), 498-504. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.nanolett.7b04453

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, lattice-matched graphene ca... Read More about Lattice-Matched Epitaxial Graphene Grown on Boron Nitride.

Supramolecular networks stabilise and functionalise black phosphorus (2017)
Journal Article
Korolkov, V. V., Timokhin, I. G., Haubrichs, R., Smith, E. F., Yang, L., Yang, S., …Beton, P. H. (2017). Supramolecular networks stabilise and functionalise black phosphorus. Nature Communications, 8(1), Article 1385. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-017-01797-6

© 2017 The Author(s). The limited stability of the surface of black phosphorus (BP) under atmospheric conditions is a significant constraint on the exploitation of this layered material and its few layer analogue, phosphorene, as an optoelectronic ma...

Giant Quantum Hall Plateau in Graphene Coupled to an InSe van der Waals Crystal (2017)
Journal Article
Kudrynskyi, Z. R., Bhuiyan, M. A., Makarovsky, O., Greener, J. D., Vdovin, E. E., Kovalyuk, Z. D., …Patanè, A. (2017). Giant Quantum Hall Plateau in Graphene Coupled to an InSe van der Waals Crystal. Physical Review Letters, 119(15), Article 157701. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.119.157701

© 2017 authors. Published by the American Physical Society. We report on a "giant" quantum Hall effect plateau in a graphene-based field-effect transistor where graphene is capped by a layer of the van der Waals crystal InSe. The giant quantum Hall e...

An atomic carbon source for high temperature molecular beam epitaxy of graphene (2017)
Journal Article
Albar, J., Summerfield, A., Cheng, T. S., Davies, A., Smith, E., Khlobystov, A. N., …Novikov, S. V. (in press). An atomic carbon source for high temperature molecular beam epitaxy of graphene. Scientific Reports, 7(1), Article 6598. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-07021-1

We report the use of a novel atomic carbon source for the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) of graphene layers on hBN flakes and on sapphire wafers at substrate growth temperatures of ~1400 °C. The source produces a flux of predominantly atomic carbon, wh... Read More about An atomic carbon source for high temperature molecular beam epitaxy of graphene.

Supramolecular heterostructures formed by sequential epitaxial deposition of two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded arrays (2017)
Journal Article
Korolkov, V. V., Baldoni, M., Watanabe, K., Taniguchi, T., Besley, E., & Beton, P. H. (2017). Supramolecular heterostructures formed by sequential epitaxial deposition of two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded arrays. Nature Chemistry, 9(12), 1191-1197. https://doi.org/10.1038/nchem.2824

© 2017 Macmillan Publishers Limited, part of Springer Nature. All rights reserved. Two-dimensional (2D) supramolecular arrays provide a route to the spatial control of the chemical functionality of a surface, but their deposition is in almost all cas...

Engineering p-n junctions and bandgap tuning of InSe nanolayers by controlled oxidation (2017)
Journal Article
Balakrishnan, N., Kudrynskyi, Z. R., Smith, E. F., Fay, M. W., Makarovsky, O., Kovalyuk, Z. D., …Patanè, A. (2017). Engineering p-n junctions and bandgap tuning of InSe nanolayers by controlled oxidation. 2D Materials, 4(2), Article 025043. https://doi.org/10.1088/2053-1583/aa61e0

Exploitation of two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) crystals can be hindered by the deterioration of the crystal surface over time due to oxidation. On the other hand, the existence of a stable oxide at room temperature can offer prospects for s...
