Electrical properties and applications of graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), and graphene/h-BN heterostructures

TLDR
Two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has similar lattice structure to graphene and has a lattice mismatch with graphene of less than 1.7%. At the same time, h-BN has an atomic level of flat surface, B atoms and N atoms saturated into the bond, which was considered the highest among the insulating substrates as discussed by the authors.

Frictional Characteristics of Atomically-Thin Sheets

TL;DR: Using friction force microscopy, the nanoscale frictional characteristics of atomically thin sheets of graphene, molybdenum disulfide, niobium diselenide, and hexagonal boron nitride are compared to those of their bulk counterparts, suggesting that the trend arises from the thinner sheets’ increased susceptibility to out-of-plane elastic deformation.

Transition between electron localisation and antilocalisation in graphene

TL;DR: It is shown that quantum interference in graphene can result in antilocalization of charge carriers--an increase of the conductance, which is detected by a negative magnetoconductance, due to weak electron-phonon scattering.
