Deposition of graphene on top of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) was very recently demonstrated while graphene is now routinely grown on Ni. Because the in-plane lattice constants of graphite, h-BN, graphite-like BC2N and of the close-packed surfaces of Co, Ni and Cu match almost perfectly, it should be possible to …
