Main Methods:

  • Utilizing van der Waals technology for controlled stacking.
  • Visualizing stacking domain distribution in graphite films.
  • Performing directional encapsulation of graphite crystallites with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN).

Main Results:

  • Directional hBN encapsulation successfully controlled graphite stacking.
  • Encapsulation parallel to zigzag edges preserved ABC stacking.
  • Encapsulation along armchair edges resulted in ABA stacking.

Conclusions:

  • A novel strategy using van der Waals technology to control graphite stacking has been demonstrated.
  • This technique allows for the preservation of ABC stacking, which is essential for exploring unique electronic properties.
