Edge-Dominated Twist Mechanics at van der Waals Interfaces
Yifan Shao, Zhaoheng Zhang, Hao Li +5
Despite the pivotal role of twist in modulating physical properties at van der Waals (vdW) interfaces, the mechanics governing torsional response remain poorly understood. Here, we…
Twist as a Mechanical Switch for Reconfigurable Stacking in h-BN
Gautham Vijayan, Zhaoheng Zhang, Kenji Watanabe +5
Twistronics of layered materials has emerged as a highly active field due to its profound implications for quantum electronics and materials engineering. However, the controllable…
Strain and Twist Engineering of Interfacial Thermal Transport in Homo- and Hetero-Interfaces of Graphene and Hexagonal Boron Nitride
Wenwu Jiang, Huasong Qin, Yilun Liu +3
A dramatic difference between the vertical thermal conductance response of homogeneous and heterogeneous graphene/h-BN interfaces to external mechanical perturbations, is predicted…
Observation of robust macroscale structural superlubricity
Minhao Han, Deli Peng, Dinglin Yang +10
Structural superlubricity (SSL) promises nearly frictionless and wearless sliding, but has until now been considered a special and extreme interfacial phenomenon limited to micro-…
Frictional Dissipation and Scaling Laws at van der Waals Interface: The Key Role of Elastic Pinning of Moiré at Edges and Corners
Xiang Gao, Weidong Yan, Wengen Ouyang +3
Van der Waals heterogeneous interfaces are promising candidates for the scaling up of structural superlubricity to meet practical applications. Several factors, however, have been…
Chemifriction and Superlubricity: Friends or Foes?
Penghua Ying, Xiang Gao, Amir Natan +2
The mechanisms underlying chemifriction, i.e. the contribution of interfacial bonding to friction in defected twisted graphene interfaces are revealed using fully atomistic machine…
Emerging chirality and moiré dynamics in twisted layered material heterostructures
Andrea Silva, Xiang Gao, Melisa M. Gianetti +5
Moiré superstructures arising at twisted 2D interfaces have recently attracted the attention of the scientific community due to exotic quantum states and unique mechanical and trib…
Polarization Saturation in Multi-layered Interfacial Ferroelectrics
Wei Cao, Swarup Deb, Maayan Vizner Stern +5
Van der Waals (vdW) polytypes of broken inversion and mirror symmetries were recently shown to exhibit switchable electric polarization even at the ultimate two-layer thin limit. T…
Interfacial Ferroelectricity by van-der-Waals Sliding
Maayan Vizner Stern, Yuval Waschitz, Wei Cao +7
Despite their ionic nature, many layered diatomic crystals avoid internal electric polarization by forming a centrosymmetric lattice at their optimal anti-parallel van-der-Waals st…
