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…
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…
