Emergence of superlattice Dirac points in graphene on hexagonal boron nitride

The Schrödinger equation dictates that the propagation of nearly free electrons through a weak periodic potential results in the opening of bandgaps near points of the reciprocal lattice known as Brillouin zone boundaries1. However, in the case of massless Dirac fermions, it has been predicted that...
