Isolating the natural edges of bilayer graphene in gate-defined mesoscopic devices
Francesco Blanda, Grazia Raciti, Thilo Glatzel +8
We introduce a graphite-gated architecture for bilayer graphene devices in which the active device is completely isolated from the natural graphene edges. Using a single patterned…

Microscopic contributions to the deviation from Amontons friction law
Suresh Ravisankar, Ravikant Kumar, Antonio Cammarata +2
We investigate the nanoscale friction behaviour of MX2 monolayers (M = Mo, W; X = S, Se) on Au(111) and Ag(111) substrates with a silicon tip using classical molecular dynamics sim…

Superlubricity of Borophene: Tribological Properties in Comparison to hBN
Antoine Hinaut, B. Sena Tömekçe, Shuyu Huang +5
The tribological performance of 2D materials makes them good candidates toward a reduction of friction at the macroscale. Superlubricity has been observed for graphene, MoS\textsub…
