Defects in h-BN tunnel barrier for local electrostatic probing of two dimensional materials

Defects in the hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) layer can facilitate the tunneling current through thick h-BN tunneling barriers. We have investigated such current-mediating defects as local probes for materials in two dimensional heterostructure stacks. Besides IV characteristics and negative differe...
