"highest carrier mobility in monolayer graphene achieved only when sandwiched by multilayer hBN. Superconductivity observed in twisted bilayer graphene needs multilayer hBN to isolate from environment... integrate transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) in devices, achieving strong photoluminescence and high carrier mobility... moiré physics... tuning relative amount Fe and Ni, uniform segregation of hBN obtained... highly performing devices where graphene encapsulated by hBN"
