In-plane dielectric constant and conductivity of confined water
R. Wang, M. Souilamas, A. Esfandiar +10
Water is essential for almost every aspect of life on our planet and, unsurprisingly, its properties have been studied in great detail. However, disproportionately little remains k…
Direct visualization and effects of atomic-scale defects on the optoelectronic properties of hexagonal boron nitride
Pablo Ares, Hernan Santos, Snezana Lazic +7
Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is attracting a lot of attention in the last years, thanks to its many remarkable properties. These include the presence of single-photon emitters wit…
Few-layer antimonene electrical properties
Pablo Ares, Sahar Pakdel, Irene Palacio +10
Antimonene -- a single layer of antimony atoms -- and its few layer forms are among the latest additions to the 2D mono-elemental materials family. Numerous predictions and experim…
Van der Waals interaction affects wrinkle formation in two-dimensional materials
Pablo Ares, Yi Bo Wang, Colin R. Woods +5
Nonlinear mechanics of solids is an exciting field that encompasses both beautiful mathematics, such as the emergence of instabilities and the formation of complex patterns, as wel…
Charge-polarized interfacial superlattices in marginally twisted hexagonal boron nitride
C. R. Woods, P. Ares, H. Nevison-Andrews +7
When two-dimensional crystals are brought into close proximity, their interaction results in strong reconstruction of electronic spectrum and local crystal structure. Such reconstr…
Emergence of highly linearly polarized interlayer exciton emission in MoSe/WSe heterobilayers with transfer-induced layer corrugation
Evgeny M. Alexeev, Nic Mullin, Pablo Ares +10
The availability of accessible fabrication methods based on deterministic transfer of atomically thin crystals has been essential for the rapid expansion of research into van der W…
Piezoelectricity in monolayer hexagonal boron nitride
P. Ares, T. Cea, M. Holwill +7
Two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a wide-bandgap van der Waals crystal with a unique combination of properties, including exceptional strength, large oxidation…
AFM manipulation of gold nanowires to build electrical circuits
Miriam Moreno-Moreno, Pablo Ares, Consuelo Moreno +3
We introduce scanning-probe-assisted nanowire circuitry (SPANC) as a new method to fabricate electrodes for the characterization of electrical transport properties at the nanoscale…
High electrical conductivity of single metal-organic chains
Pablo Ares, Pilar Amo-Ochoa, Jose M. Soler +3
Molecular wires are essential components for future nanoscale electronics. However, the preparation of individual long conductive molecules is still a challenge. MMX metal-organic…
One-Pot Preparation of Mechanically Robust, Transparent, Highly Conductive and Memristive Metal-Organic Ultrathin Film
Miriam Moreno-Moreno, Javier Troyano, Pablo Ares +8
The future of 2D flexible electronics relies on the preparation of conducting ultrathin films of materials with mechanical robustness and flexibility in a simple but controlled man…
Tunable Graphene Electronics with Local Ultrahigh Pressure
Pablo Ares, Michele Pisarra, Pilar Segovia +6
We achieve fine tuning of graphene effective doping by applying ultrahigh pressures (> 10 GPa) using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) diamond tips. Specific areas in graphene flakes a…
Anomalously low dielectric constant of confined water
L. Fumagalli, A. Esfandiar, R. Fabregas +10
The dielectric constant of interfacial water has been predicted to be smaller than that of bulk water (= 80) because the rotational freedom of water dipoles is expected to decrease…
Mechanical Isolation of Highly Stable Antimonene under Ambient Conditions
Pablo Ares, Fernando Aguilar-Galindo, David Rodríguez-San-Miguel +6
Using mechanical exfoliation combined with a controlled double step transfer procedure we demonstrate that single layers of antimony can be readily produced. These flakes are not s…
