In particular, BN grown with a high pressure technique has proven to be an excellent substrate material for graphene and related 2D materials, but at the same time very hard to replace. Here we report on a method of growth at atmospheric pressure as a true alternative for producing BN for high quality graphene/BN heterostructures. The process is not only more scalable, but also allows to grow isotopically purified BN crystals. We employ Raman spectroscopy, cathodoluminescence, and electronic transport measurements to show the high-quality of such monoisotopic BN and its potential for graphene-based heterostructures. The excellent electronic performance of our heterostructures is demonstrated by well developed fractional quantum Hall states, ballistic transport over distances around $10\\,\\mathrm{\\mu m}$ at low temperatures and electron-phonon scattering limited transport at room temperature.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-12-22T17:17:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "monoisotopic boron-nitride grown", "excellent electronic transport", "atmospheric pressure", "heterostructures", "isotopically purified bn crystals" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
