研究目的
The study aims to accurately determine the energy gaps in monolayer and bilayer graphene/h-BN moiré superlattices at charge neutrality and at integer moiré band occupancies as a function of external electric and magnetic fields and the interface twist angle.
研究成果
The study concludes that energy gaps are formed at neutrality and at the hole-doped SDP in single-layer graphene, but not at the electron-doped SDP. For bilayer graphene, gaps occur only at charge neutrality and can be modified by an external electric field. The findings are qualitatively understood within a single-particle picture of single- and bi-layer graphene-h-BN superlattices.
研究不足
The study acknowledges that the dataset at B = 0 T is not sufficient as indisputable evidence for the presence of a gap or for quantitative energy-gap analyses. It also notes that tunneling signals are often delineated by dI/dVb features like strong dI/dVb peaks, which are not directly related to the electronic structures of graphene-h-BN superlattices.
