Moire pattern as a magnifying glass for strain and dislocations in van der Waals heterostructures
arXiv:1408.1624 · doi:10.1039/C4FD00146J
Abstract
We consider the role of deformations in graphene heterostructures with hexagonal crystals (including strain, wrinkles and dislocations) on the geometrical properties of moire patterns characteristic for a pair of two incommensurate misaligned isostructural crystals. By, employing a phenomenological theory to describe generic moire perturbation in van der Waals heterostructures of graphene and hexagonal crystals we investigate the electronic properties of such heterostructure.
