Electronic polarizability as the fundamental variable in the dielectric properties of two-dimensional materials
Tian Tian, Declan Scullion, Dale Hughes +5
The dielectric constant, which defines the polarization of the media, is a key quantity in condensed matter. It determines several electronic and optoelectronic properties importan…
Sacrificial Template Replication: Fabrication of arbitrary three-dimensional suspended hollow microstructures in transparent fused silica glass
Frederik Kotz, Patrick Risch, Karl Arnold +6
Fused silica glass is the preferred material in all applications which require long-term chemical and mechanical stability as well as excellent optical properties. The manufacturin…
Spectroscopic size and thickness metrics for liquid-exfoliated h-BN
Aideen Griffin, Andrew Harvey, Brian Cunningham +8
For many 2D materials, optical and Raman spectra are richly structured, and convey information on a range of parameters including nanosheet size and defect content. By contrast, th…
Asymmetric Electric Field Screening in van der Waals Heterostructures
Lu Hua Li, Tian Tian, Qiran Cai +2
Electric field screening plays an important role in the physical and chemical properties of materials and their devices. Here, we use a compelling set of theoretical and experiment…
Population-balance description of shear-induced clustering, gelation and suspension viscosity in sheared DLVO colloids
M. Lattuada, A. Zaccone, H. Wu +1
Application of shear flow to charge-stabilized aqueous colloidal suspensions is ubiquitous in industrial applications and as a means to achieve controlled field-induced assembly of…
Electrostatics controls the formation of amyloid-like superstructures in protein aggregation
Vito Foderà, Alessio Zaccone, Marco Lattuada +1
The possibility for proteins to aggregate in different superstructures, i.e. large-scale polymorphism, has been widely observed, but an understanding of the physico-chemical mechan…
