Mind the gap | Nature Materials

Research now shows that interaction with silicon carbide substrate leads to the opening of a semiconductor gap in epitaxial graphene. This is an important first step towards bandgap

engineering in this two-dimensional crystal, and its incorporation in electronic devices. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access
