For physicists, building a heterostructure is surprisingly simple. By layering single sheets of graphene with other 2D crystals, they can create new designer materials that don’t occur naturally and ...

In the meantime, they intentionally deposited an epitaxial polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) patch on top of a target 2D crystal through a standard electron-beam lithography. The steps to manipulate ...

The in-plane stability of these 2D crystals is provided by strong covalent bonds, but the atomically thin layers are attached to each other through weak van der Waals interactions, similar to how a ...

2D van der Waals magnetic/non-magnetic heterojunctions ... Generation of Antiferromagnet MnPSe₃ in the MnPSe₃/Graphene Heterostructure Due to Interfacial Magnon–Plasmon Coupling, Nano ...

For instance, merely considering 100 different 2D materials and 30 different twist angles for a bilayer heterostructure presents 300,000 potential combinations. With the inclusion of additional layers ...

The researcher’s work involves building a 2D Van der Waal heterostructure, a structure created by stacking multiple layers of two-dimensional (2D) materials. These structures possess distinct ...
