In chip making, a semiconductor layer that is created on top of the silicon base rather than below it. See molecular beam epitaxy. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. All other reproduction ...

A recent article in Small presents a detailed investigation into the mechanisms behind the epitaxial growth of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) on Ru(0001). Using a combination of density functional ...

in the preceding comment to account for the energy gap reported by us 1 in epitaxial graphene on 6H-SiC is unfounded. In our view, the effects of modulations on the lateral structure of graphene ...

You have full access to this article via your institution. We agree that a gap was induced in the graphene samples of Zhou and colleagues, but we believe that the origin of this gap was not the ...
