Graphene on h-BN: to align or not to align?
Roberto Guerra, Merel van Wijk, Andrea Vanossi +2
The contact strength, adhesion and friction, between graphene and an incommensurate crystalline substrate such as {\it h}-BN depends on their relative alignment angle . The well…
Macroscopic self-reorientation of interacting two-dimensional crystals
C. R. Woods, F. Withers, M. J. Zhu +13
Microelectromechanical systems, which can be moved or rotated with nanometre precision, already find applications in such fields like radio-frequency electronics, micro-attenuators…
Effect of structural relaxation on the electronic structure of graphene on hexagonal boron nitride
G. J. Slotman, M. M. van Wijk, Pei-Liang Zhao +3
We performed calculations of electronic, optical and transport properties of graphene on hBN with realistic moiré patterns. The latter are produced by structural relaxation using a…
Relaxation of moiré patterns for slightly misaligned identical lattices: graphene on graphite
M. M. van Wijk, A. Schuring, M. I. Katsnelson +1
We study the effect of atomic relaxation on the structure of moiré patterns in twisted graphene on graphite and double layer graphene by large scale atomistic simulations. The reco…
Moir{é} patterns as a probe of interplanar interactions: graphene on h-BN
M. M. van Wijk, A. Schuring, M. I. Katsnelson +1
By atomistic modeling of moir{é} patterns of graphene on a substrate with a small lattice mismatch, we find qualitatively different strain distributions for small and large misorie…
Minimal graphene thickness for wear protection of diamond
M. M. van Wijk, A. Fasolino
We show by means of molecular dynamics simulations that graphene is an excellent coating for diamond. The transformation of diamond to amorphous carbon while sliding under pressure…
