This thesis focuses on the energy band engineering of graphene.
It presents pioneering findings on the controlled growth of
graphene and graphene-based heterostructures, as well as
scanning tunneling microscopy/scanning tunneling spectroscopy
(STM/STS) studies on their electronic structures. The thesis
primarily investigates two classes of graphene-based systems:
(i) twisted bilayer graphene, which was synthesized on Rh
substrates and manifests van Hove singularities near Fermi
Level, and (ii) in-plane h-BN-G heterostructures, which were
controllably synthesized in an ultrahigh vacuum chamber and
demonstrate intriguing electronic properties on the interface.
In short, the thesis offers revealing insights into the energy
band engineering of graphene-based nanomaterials, which will
greatly facilitate future graphene applications.
