Claim 0:
1. A method for forming a heterostructure comprising lateral heterojunctions, comprising:
providing a multiferroic material layer;
applying a local electric field to the multiferroic material layer, forming an array of polarization domains in the multiferroic material layer; and
providing a two-dimensional material layer on the multiferroic material layer, wherein the polarization domains produce corresponding lateral heterojunctions in the two-dimensional material layer,
wherein the multiferroic material layer is selected from the group consisting of BiMnO3, LaMnO3, and BiFeO3, and combinations thereof.
