Deskripsi
Remote epitaxy represents a promising method for the synthesis of thin films on lattice-mismatched substrates, but its atomic-scale mechanisms are still unclear. Here, the authors demonstrate the growth of exfoliatable GaSb films on graphene-terminated GaSb (001) via seeded lateral epitaxy, showing that pinhole defects in graphene serve as selective nucleation sites.
