Ni(111)|Graphene|h-BN Junctions as Ideal Spin Injectors

Abstract: Deposition of graphene on top of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) was veryrecently demonstrated while graphene is now routinely grown on Ni. Because thein-plane lattice constants of graphite, h-BN, graphite-like BC2N and of theclose-packed surfaces of Co, Ni and Cu match almost perfectly, it should bepossible to prepare ideal interfaces between..
