## Description

- description: We demonstrate that frictional domains derive not from structural features
    in the graphene, but from self-assembly of atmospheric adsorbates into a highly
    regular superlattice of stripes with period 4 to 6 nm. The stripes and resulting
    frictional domains appear on monolayer and multilayer graphene on a variety of
    substrates, as well as on exfoliated flakes of hexagonal boron nitride. We show
    that the stripe-superlattices can be reproducibly and reversibly manipulated with
    submicron precision using a scanning probe microscope, allowing us to create arbitrary
    arrangements of frictional domains within a single flake.
