Undulation-induced moiré superlattices with 1D polarization domains and 1D flat bands in 2D bilayer semiconductors
Xingfu Li, Sunny Gupta, Boris I. Yakobson
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have a high Föppl-von Kármán number and can be easily bent, much like a paper, making undulations a novel way to design distinct electronic phases. T…
Heterobilayers of 2D materials as a platform for excitonic superfluidity
Sunny Gupta, Alex Kutana, Boris I. Yakobson
Excitonic condensate has been long-sought within bulk indirect-gap semiconductors, quantum wells, and 2D material layers, all tried as carrying media. Here we propose intrinsically…
In Pursuit of 2D Materials for Maximum Optical Response
Sunny Gupta, Sharmila N. Shirodkar, Alex Kutana +1
Despite being only a few atoms thick, single-layer two-dimensional (2D) materials display strong electron-photon interactions that could be utilized in efficient light modulators o…
A Review on Mechanics and Mechanical Properties of 2D Materials - Graphene and Beyond
Deji Akinwande, Christopher J. Brennan, J. Scott Bunch +17
Since the first successful synthesis of graphene just over a decade ago, a variety of two-dimensional (2D) materials (e.g., transition metal-dichalcogenides, hexagonal boron-nitrid…
A MoS2-based capacitive displacement sensor for DNA sequencing
A. Smolyanitsky, B. I. Yakobson, T. A. Wassenaar +2
We propose an aqueous functionalized molybdenum disulfide nanoribbon suspended over a solid electrode as the first capacitive displacement sensor aimed at determining the DNA seque…
Assessing carbon-based anodes for lithium-ion batteries: A universal description of charge-transfer binding
Yuanyue Liu, Y. Morris Wang, Boris I. Yakobson +1
Many key performance characteristics of carbon-based lithium-ion battery anodes are largely determined by the strength of binding between lithium (Li) and sp2 carbon (C), which can…
