Nanoscale mechanics and ultralow Friction of natural 2D silicates: Biotite and Rhodonite
Surbhi Slathia, Manoj Tripathi, Raphael Benjamim de Oliveira +12
Two-dimensional (2D) silicates have emerged as a promising class of ultrathin materials, expanding the landscape of 2D systems beyond conventional van der Waals crystals. Their uni…

Sub-nm Curvature Unlocks Quantum Flexoelectricity in Graphene
Sathvik Ajay Iyengar, James G. McHugh, Jonathan P. Salvage +5
Flexoelectricity, polarization induced by strain gradients, is especially pronounced in two-dimensional (2D) materials due to their mechanical flexibility and sensitivity to mechan…
