The comparison leads to a direct quantitative estimate of the underlying disorder strength for both short-range and long-range disorder in the graphene on h-BN system. We find that the good interface quality between graphene and h-BN leads to strongly suppressed charged impurity scattering compared with the corresponding SiO$_2$ substrate case, thus producing very high mobility for the graphene on h-BN system.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-12-31T21:00:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "72.80.Vp", "81.05.ue", "72.10.-d", "73.22.Pr" ], "keywords": [ "boron nitride substrates", "conductivity", "h-bn system", "suppressed charged impurity scattering" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2011, "month": "Mar", "volume": 83, "number": 12, "pages": 121405 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011PhRvB..83l1405D" } } }
