Abstract

We perform extensive first-principles calculations for heterostructures composed of monolayer graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Employing a symmetry-derived minimal tight-binding model, we extract orbital and spin-orbit coupling (SOC) parameters for graphene on hBN, as well as for hBN encapsulated graphene. Our calculations show that the parameters depend on the specific stacking ...
