Infrared absorption by graphene–hBN heterostructures

We propose a theory of optical absorption in monolayer graphene–hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) heterostructures. In highly oriented heterostructures, the hBN underlay produces a long-range moiré superlattice potential for the graphene electrons which modifies the selection rules for absorption of inc...
