We demonstrate ultra-sharp (≲10 nm) lateral p-n junctions in graphene using electronic transport, scanning tunneling microscopy, and first principles calculations. The p-n junction lies at the boundary between differentially-doped regions of a graphene sheet, where one side is intrinsic and the other is charge-doped by proximity to a flake of α-RuCl3 across a thin insulating barrier. We extract the p-n junction contribution to the device resistance to place bounds on the junction width. We achieve an ultra-sharp junction when the boundary between the intrinsic and doped regions is defined by a cleaved crystalline edge of α-RuCl3 located 2 nm from the graphene. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy in heterostructures of graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, and α-RuCl3 shows potential variations on a sub-10 nm length scale. First principles calculations reveal the charge-doping of graphene decays sharply over just nanometers from the edge of the α-RuCl3 flake.
