We discovered that the Dirac cone of graphene could be quite well preserved in the vdW heterostructures. Moreover, a transition from an n-type to p-type Schottky contact at the graphene/g-GaN interface was induced with a decreased interlayer distance from 4.5 to 2.5 Å. This relationship is expected to enable effective control of the Schottky barrier, which is an important development in the design of Schottky devices. © 2017 Author(s).journal article10.1063/1.49826902-s2.0-85018359685
