摘要：

Integration of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) in lateral heterostructures has provided a route to broadly engineer the material properties by quantum confinement of electrons or introduction of novel electronic and magnetic states at the interface. In this work we demonstrate lateral heteroepitaxial growth of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) passivated by hBN using high-temperature molecular beam epitaxy (HT-MBE) to grow graphene in oriented hBN trenches formed ex-situ by catalytic nanoparticle etching. High-resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM) reveals that GNRs grow epitaxially from the etched hBN edges, and merge to form a GNR network passivated by hBN. Using conductive AFM we probe the nanoscale electrical properties of the nanoribbons and observe quasiparticle interference patterns caused by intervalley scattering at the graphene/hBN interface, which carries implications for the potential transport characteristics of hBN passivated GNR devices.
