Abstract

Van der Waals heterostructures formed by assembling different two-dimensional atomic crystals into stacks can lead to many new phenomena and device functionalities. In particular, graphene/boron-nitride heterostructures have emerged as a very promising system for band engineering of graphene. However, the intrinsic value and origin of the bandgap in such heterostructures remain unresolved. Here we report the observation of an intrinsic bandgap in epitaxial graphene/boron-nitride heterostructures with zero crystallographic alignment angle. Magneto-optical spectroscopy provides a direct probe of the Landau level transitions in this system and reveals a bandgap of ~38 meV (440 K). Moreover, the Landau level transitions are characterized by effective Fermi velocities with a critical dependence on specific transitions and magnetic field. These findings highlight the important role of many-body interactions in determining the fundamental properties of graphene heterostructures. The unusual electronic properties of graphene can be modified by placing it on a boron-nitride substrate with a small crystallographic alignment angle. Chen et al.now reveal that such heterostructures grown by epitaxy have a large bandgap, useful for applications using magneto-optical spectroscopy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
