Substrate-induced band gap in graphene on hexagonal boron nitride:Ab initio density functional calculations
Open accessAbstract
We determine the electronic structure of a graphene sheet on top of a lattice-matched hexagonal boron nitride $(h\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{B}\mathrm{N})$ substrate using ab initio density functional calculations. The most stable configuration has one carbon atom on top of a boron atom, and the other centered above a BN ring. The resulting inequivalence of the two carbon sites leads to the opening of a gap of $53\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{meV}$ at the Dirac points of graphene and to finite masses for the Dirac fermions. Alternative orientations of the graphene sheet on the BN substrate generate similar band gaps and masses. The band gap induced by the BN surface can greatly improve room temperature pinch-off characteristics of graphene-based field effect transistors.

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.
