Abstract

In this short chapter, we describe the recent experimental realisation of graphene-hBN heterostructures, and the observation of the Hofstadter spectra, reported by L.A. Ponomarenko and co-workers. The experimental work was carried out by the group of Andre Geim, and interpreted using the theory described in the preceding three chapters.
