Thermally Induced Graphene Rotation on Hexagonal Boron Nitride
Abstract
In this Letter, we report the observation of thermally induced rotation of graphene on hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). After the rotation, two thermally stable configurations of graphene on h-BN with a relative lattice twisting angle of 0° (most stable) and 30° (metastable), respectively, were found. Graphene on h-BN with a twisting angle below (above) a critical angle of ∼12±2° tends to rotate towards 0° (30°) at a temperature of >100 °C, which is in line with our theoretical simulations. In addition, by manipulating the annealing temperature and the flake sizes of graphene, moiré superlattices with large spatial periods of graphene on h-BN are achieved. Our studies provide a detailed understanding of the thermodynamic properties of graphene on h-BN and a feasible approach to obtaining van der Waals heterostructures with aligned lattices.

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.
