Optically driven thermodynamic transition from free- to locked-epitaxy
Renhong Liang, Mao Ye, Yiran Ying +6
Controlling crystallographic orientation in quasi-van der Waals (vdW) epitaxy remains a fundamental challenge, especially for material systems located near the boundary between wea…

Universal thermodynamic framework for quasi-van der Waals epitaxy
Renhong Liang, Mao Ye, Renkui Zheng +4
van der Waals (vdW) epitaxy is conventionally regarded as a rotation-free and strain-free growth mode driven by weak, isotropic interactions, yet many interfaces paradoxically exhi…
