The widespread adoption for the Quantum Hall Resistance Standard (QHRS) based on graphene in metrology, and industrial end-users, is currently limited by the inability to grow large areas of high-quality graphene with uniform, reproducible and stable electric properties (conductivity, doping and mobility). To alleviate these issues, this proposal will assess and benchmark a new family of graphene-like analogues for realizing the QHRS: two-dimensional lattices of covalent- and metal-organic frameworks. These novel Dirac materials can be defined in an atomically precise and scalable manner, holding promise for replacing graphene in metrology and other sectors where the “uniqueness” of graphene properties are exploited.
