Lateral Heterostructures of Graphene and h-BN with Atomic Lattice Coherence and Tunable Rotational Order

In-plane heterostructures of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) exhibit exceptional properties, which are highly sensitive to the structure of the alternating domains. Nevertheless, achieving accurate control over their structural properties, while keeping a high perfection at the graphene-...
