Scalable synthesis of 2D van der Waals superlattices

Michael J. Motala, Xiang Zhang, Pawan Kumar +23

Heterostructure materials form the basis of much of modern electronics, from transistors to lasers and light-emitting diodes. Recent years have seen a renewed focus on creating het…

Adaptive hard and tough mechanical response in single-crystal B1 VNx ceramics via control of anion vacancies

A. B. Mei, H. Kindlund, E. Broitman +4

High hardness and toughness are generally considered mutually exclusive properties for single-crystal ceramics. Combining experiments and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) atomis…

Effects of surface vibrations on interlayer mass-transport: ab initio molecular dynamics investigation of Ti adatom descent pathways and rates from TiN/TiN(001) islands

D. G. Sangiovanni, A. B. Mei, D. Edström +4

We carry out density-functional ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations of Ti adatom (Tiad) migration on, and descent from, TiN <100>-faceted epitaxial islands on TiN(001)…

Deposition of defected graphene on (001) Si substrates by thermal decomposition of acetone

T. I. Milenov, I. Avramova, E. Valcheva +7

We present results on the deposition and characterization of defected graphene by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. The source of carbon/carbon-containing radicals is the…

Effects of configurational disorder on adatom mobilities on TiAlN(001) surfaces

B. Alling, P. Steneteg, C. Tholander +4

We use metastable NaCl-structure Ti0.5Al0.5N alloys to probe effects of configurational disorder on adatom surface diffusion dynamics which control phase stability and nanostructur…

Low-Energy Electron Microscopy Studies of Interlayer Mass Transport Kinetics on TiN(111)

S. Kodambaka, Navot Israeli, J. Bareno +4

In situ low-energy electron microscopy was used to study interlayer mass transport kinetics during annealing of three-dimensional (3D) TiN(111) mounds, consisting of stacked 2D isl…
