“…Remote epitaxy and graphene-mediated exfoliation have been demonstrated for several material systems, including III−V, III−N, II−VI, perovskites, and other complex oxides, 6−13 versatility of the approach for diverse applications and heterogeneous integration. Although the underlying physics and principles of remote epitaxy have been theoretically investigated, 7,9,14,15 experimental environments could be vastly different from the general assumptions used in theoretical study, which is that both the substrate and the graphene layer are pristine without any defects, residue, or contamination. Furthermore, even if graphenecoated substrates are prepared to satisfy such conditions, the harsh epitaxy environment could also alter the graphene or the substrate properties and thus influence the formation of remote epitaxial films.…”
